If you want to flavor your chocolate or candy coating, you MUST use oils or concentrated flavors. Extracts CAN NOT be used. (They are water based and may thicken and ruin your chocolate and coatings.) We recommend adding 12-15 drops per pound.
Pink Coating + White Coating = Light Pink
You achieve lighter shades of a color by melting white coating and adding melted colored coatings.
Pink Coating + Blue Coating + Cocoa Lite Wafers = Mauve
To achieve a color not available such as mauve, melt available colors separately, and starting with the closest color, stir in other color(s). Amounts of color depend on the color of mauve desired.
If you want a exact color you can add Candy Color which is oil based. Cake colorings are water based and may ruin your candy. Caution: Too much coloring may stain tongue and give bitter taste. Example, if colors are navy and yellow, you may want to do yellow and white mints instead of navy. When adding color, the candy may thicken. Be sure you have some paramount crystals on hand to thin the candy down.
For a darker color, start with color of wafers available and add enough candy color to achieve the result desired. Caution: Too much coloring may stain tongue and give bitter taste.
Blue Coating + Blue Candy Color = Royal Blue
Blue Coating + Blue Candy Color + Black Candy Color = Navy
