My oldest DD and I are making "ribbon" lollipops as a fund-raiser for our Relay for Life team. We're using Wilton Candy Melts. Relay isn't until May 19th but we want to get a head start on making these. Once we've taken them out of the molds and put them in their little bags, sealed them, can we freeze them? or should we just put them in the fridge? Thanks for your help. Ellen
I don't know if you added other ingredients that may change the directions, but the package of candy melts I have say, "Do not freeze."
Seems to me that Wilton used to recommend 2 weeks ahead of time, I have gone longer though, just make sure the room temperature is below 75F or you will get bloom even with the candymelts.

here is the ingredients list from yellow candy melts: Sugar, Partially-Hydrogenated Palm Kernel Oil, Non-Fat Dry Milk, Dry Whole Milk, Vanillin (an artificial flavor), Emulsifiers (Lecithin and Monoglycerides of Hydrogenated Soybean Oil), Salt, FD&C Yellow No. 5 and Additional Artificial Colors.
You can use white chocolate coloured with powdered colours, if you want to.
Thank you very much! I thought about chocolate before but I'd like to find an alternative to play with since white chocolate is quite expencive and man can't buy it in large quantities here. I'll try to make something simislar, thanx again!
Middle of Eureope, ex Yugoslavia. I could if I had a credit card but I can't get one 'cause I'm a student...
What about a debit card??? Lots of places accept those now instead of credit cards....just comes out of your checking or savings account???
Tortica,
Do you have "Almond Bark" there? It really doesn't have anything to do with almonds, it is dark chocolate and white "vanilla flavor". My boys think the white tastes like white chocolate reese's(sp) peanut butter cups.
Good luck on your search.

It is called confectionary compound or confectionary coating in some countries.
If you use chocolate you must temer the chocolate.

I make tons of candy for Christmas & Easter. The made up candy will last a year even!
Thanks everyone for your help. Candyladyhelen: do you keep yours stored in something particular? I'm thinking since you're not to terribly far from me that I would be able to store mine in the same way and be safe! Thanks again.
