Peter’s Caramel is the premiere, ready made caramel, beloved by pastry chefs, confectioners & bakers alike. Their rich caramel starts with a generous buttery taste at the forefront & ends with a touch of toasted sweetness for a well-balanced overall flavor profile. Our customers use Peter’s Caramel to create rich caramel candy centers, caramel apples, dipped pretzels and so many more delicious treats.

Just like melting coating wafers, there are several methods you can use to melt Peter’s Caramel but we do recommend that you follow a couple best practices.

Did you know that water based coloring can seize your chocolate? That’s why it’s important to understand the difference between candy coloring & gel coloring. Candy coloring & gel coloring are specifically formulated to easily bind with their respective foods while retaining ultimate vibrancy. If you use the incorrect coloring, things may go south quickly!  

It’s official! We are so excited to announce our partnership with Artisan Accents to bring you their full line of Chocolate Chameleon Candy Colors to pair with our Sweet Shoppe Coating Wafers! Chocolate Chameleon Candy Colors pair perfectly with our Sweet Shoppe Coating Wafers to bring you rich, vivid chocolate colors with smooth, full coverage. 

Merckens Compound Chocolate is known for their consistent & superior quality that allows you to easily melt chocolate & create delicious chocolate dipped treats. However, if you have ever used compound chocolate, you may have found that when melted, it can occasionally have a thick consistency, making dipping treats a little more difficult to do.

From home bakers to manufactures, Stover & Company supplies all businesses, big & small. Looking for a couple pounds of chocolate for cakepops, strawberries & more? How about a bulk order of Callebaut? Or even sprinkles for your treats? You can find it all here at stovercompany.com! 

Humidity got your chocolate? No problem! Instead of throwing away your melts, instead keep them! It is still usable for molds & making candy. First, the melts are still good, they just won't have that sipping consistency for dipping. 

Summer 2022 is in full swing & the temperatures have rised significantly. We want to provide you tips so you are aware of how to handle your chocolate during the Summer & beat the heat!

If you live in an area with high heat & humidity, it may be affecting your chocolate. We want to give you as much information as we can to you to ensure your chocolate is away from the heat & moisture from the humidity. It's always good to make a note when you initially place your order to keep track of it.
