It’s that time of year where sweet treats reign supreme. You may be baking a special holiday treat to give as a gift, to share with loved ones, or to sell to customers.

No matter who you are baking for, you’re going to need high quality chocolate melts (also known as candy melts) that elevate your sweet treats so we’ve put together a quick guide for you!
Tis’ the season for Christmas Macarons!
Macarons (pronounced mac-ah-ron) are a delicate, sandwich style pastry that make perfect gifts & party favors. Most people associate Macarons with France, but they actually originate from Italy. Macarons have a long history, dating back to the early 1500’s. These delectable treats have been enjoyed for centuries!
Merckens Chocolate Melts were first introduced in 1921 in Buffalo, New York when a German immigrant named August Mercken purchased a chocolate company & renamed it after his family. Since then, Merckens has become a household name & a pantry staple for home bakers & chocolate makers alike.
Everyone loves to snack on a beautifully colored treat! To achieve these colorful creations, you’ll need to stock up on food coloring. Not just any food coloring will do. Water based food coloring could ruin your treats instantly so you’ll want to be sure to use oil-based food coloring to create classic & custom treat colors.
Candy colors are available in an array of brands, colors & shades. Add oil based candy colors to your candy melts or buttercream frosting to decorate your treats to match custom color palettes for your customers. School colors? Team colors? Holiday colors? Favorite Colors? No problem!

Couverture chocolate is a specialty form of chocolate that is commonly used by professional bakers, confectioners & chocolate manufacturers. Unlike commonly used melting chocolates, this premium product has a high percentage of cocoa butter. Due to the fluidity of the extra cocoa butter content, couverture chocolate is the ideal choice for artisan chocolate making.
