9 Best Chocolates for Melting

As the chocolate is melting, add 2 tablespoons light corn syrup, 2 tablespoons vegetable shortening, and 1 ½ teaspoons water in as well. With a wooden spoon, keep stirring the mixture till the chocolate morsels have melted properly. We want the mixture to be smooth in consistency.

Chocolate being melted, simply can’t tolerate small drops of water. Once chocolate has seized it’s not easy to coax it back to liquid form. Sometimes whisking a tablespoon of warm water into the chocolate works, then add more water a teaspoon at a time until the chocolate is smooth.

Technically, you “can” use olive oil, but it won’t be the same. Depending on the olive oil, you may notice a slight change in taste, but if it’s a mild olive oil and you only use a dab, you can probably get away with it. There are other options for shortening substitutions when melting chocolate.

Once chocolate is looking almost melted with just a few lumps, don’t microwave it again just stir the chocolate until it is completely smooth. Adding a tablespoon of coconut oil or vegetable oil while microwaving helps the chocolate melt more smoothly and makes it the perfect consistency for dipping!

Add oil, butter, or shortening to thin a small amount of chocolate. The best way to thin chocolate is with the addition of a fat. Coconut and canola oils work nicely for this, and coconut oil in particular has a pleasing texture on the palate. This will work best if you add the oil to the chocolate before you heat it.

Adding just a half teaspoon of oil can help thin candy melts but should only be used when in a pinch. Coconut oil will, of course, add a slight coconut taste so keep that in mind when stirring it into your candy melts! Vegetable or canola oil will also work and have no noticeable flavor.

If you don’t have EZ Thin on hand, you can also add a small amount of solid white vegetable shortening, using the same technique of starting with a small amount and adding in more as needed. We don’t suggest using milk, water, cream, butter or half-and-half to thin your melted candy.

there is a good substitute for candy melt and that is white chocolate. You just need to melt it over water bath or microwave gently with a small amount of shortening or crisco and will work fine like candy melt.

Vegetable oils are used for shortening many baking items, and candy melts are no exception. You may also use canola oil. But be cautious. Oils are more powerful than you might assume, so add them bit by bit and check the consistency.

Absolutely. Coconut oil stands out from canola, vegetable, and its other oil relatives, because it’s naturally solid at room temperature (though if said room gets to 76°F or warmer, the solid oil will start to melt). Substitute coconut oil instead of shortening by following a 1:1 ratio.

As commercially available shortening is made of vegetable oils, you can use oil as a shortening substitute. Olive oil is considered the best option for this purpose. It is also healthy. However, olive oil is not suitable for baking products that are sweet.

Use only shortening for this, do not use butter, margarine or oil!

How much butter do I add to melted chocolate? Butter helps the chocolate chips melt in a smooth and glossy liquid. It also helps make the perfect consistency for dipping and glazing!
