Have you ever had trouble using Wilton Candy Melts for cake pops? I know I have! It’s often too thick and clumpy and I get sooooo frustrated when this happens! But the truth is, the candy melts are sooo convenient! They’re already colored in a whole rainbow of colors and they’re very easy to find online or in craft stores or Walmart.

Well, you can not imagine how excited I was to see this video that Wilton recently shared on YouTube… and they share how to fix the candy melts to make perfect cake pops! Watch it here:

They’re #1 suggestions is to mix in 2 Tbsp. of EZ Thin Dipping Aid. Honestly, I had never heard of this before watching this video, but it appears to be an awesome product! If i see some in stores, I will be grabbing it and giving it a try!

There are a couple of other things I’ve used that helps with this problem…

First up – shortening (which is also mentioned in that video). Before a few months ago, shortening was my go-to fix for thick melted candy melts. I’d just keep stirring in a teaspoon at a time until I got the candy melts to a good consistency.

But a few months back, I read somewhere about using Paramount Crystals to thin candy melts. I didn’t know what that was either but since I was willing to try anything to make cake pops easier, I ordered me a bag and voila – they also work like a charm!!

By the way, I suspect that paramount crystals and EZ Thin are very similar products, if not identical, although I haven’t tried the EZ Thin yet. Anywho… if you’ve ever had trouble with thick, goopy candy melts, maybe now you can solve that problem to make your cake pop adventures go a little easier!
