Paramount Crystals are another product that you can purchase specifically to help with thinning out melted chocolate, carob or, of course, candy melts. Paramount crystals are primarily made with hydrogenated palm kernel oil yet it is not a liquid oil as you may expect.
Instead, they are packaged as little crystals that seem dry but will instantly melt when added to your hot candy melts. Many people prefer to use paramount crystals as they give the candy melts a perfect texture when hardened. While shortening can make the hardened candy melts a little too soft since shortening is soft at room temperature naturally, paramount crystals are naturally a hard solid at room temp meaning the candy melts will be nice and crisp as well.
So, if you are looking for a product that will make your candy melts liquid when hot and crisp when solid, this is the one to use! Chocolate is made with cocoa butter which is what gives it hat smooth texture as it melts in your mouth. Adding pure cocoa butter to hot, melted candy melts will instantly make the mixture much more liquid and smooth. Using cocoa butter also sticks to the traditional ingredients in candy melts, staying true to their chocolate origins.
Cocoa butter can be expensive which is one downside of using this rather than a different method for thinning candy melts. However, you will definitely get that smooth chocolate mouth feel! Adding just a half teaspoon of oil can help thin candy melts but should only be used when in a pinch. Most oils are liquid at room temperature which means your candy melts may not harden as firm as you would like. However, adding the oil will definitely make the candy melts easier to work with.
Coconut oil is a great option as it is a solid when room temperature pending that you are in a room that is 75 degrees or cooler! 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. Oil can be quite powerful. While all of these methods will work perfectly to help thin your candy melts, you may find that you love one option more than another.
Whenever you are planning on using candy melts, be sure to have one of these thinning tools on hand! You will be very happy when you are dipping those cake pops that you can work with a perfectly textured candy melt mix.
