✅ Top 5 Tips for Perfect Merckens® Candy Coatings

  1. Melt Low & Slow: Heat Merckens wafers to 115°-120°F, then let them cool to 98°-102°F before dipping or molding. Overheating can ruin gloss.
  2. Keep Water Away: Water will seize candy melts. Make sure bowls, utensils, and hands are completely dry before melting.
  3. Cool Properly: Finished treats set best at 45°-65°F with good airflow. Avoid leaving them at room temp too long, or condensation can form.
  4. Fix Thick Coating: If your wafers seem too thick (especially after storage), add Paramount Crystals or melted palm kernel oil a little at a time until smooth.
  5. Store Smart: Keep Merckens wafers in a cool, odor-free spot under 65°F and away from moisture to prevent bloom and keep them flowing perfectly.
