Candy melts are small, disc-shaped pieces of colored chocolate that are easy to melt and use for various sweet treats. They are made from sugar, vegetable oils, and flavorings, making them a versatile option for coating, dipping, or decorating desserts. These melts come in a variety of colors and flavors, allowing for creative designs in baking and candy-making. They are commonly used in cake pops, cookies, and chocolate-covered treats, as they harden quickly after cooling, providing a smooth and glossy finish.
