What Are Candy Melts?
Candy melts are a often recommended for easy candy making or coating cake pops. They come in many colors and have a plain vaguely milky flavor. Many people make the mistake of thinking that Candy Melts are chocolate since they are often used in candy making but they aren’t chocolate. They’re made with a combination of sugar and vegetable fats but absolutely no cocoa butter. Candy melts don’t deliver that chocolate flavor but candy melts, melt great and look super. White chocolate fills in nicely if you aren’t a fan of candy melts.
Zombie Eyes
Zombie eyes can be made with green or purple candy melts. Use colored sugar crystals that compliment the candy melt colors, for instance red sugar crystals would look great with the purple candy melts and green candy melts would look great with yellow sugar crystals. Any shape of mini pretzel will work but we went with the football shape mini pretzel. It looked more “eye” shaped to me.
