Are there any Dairy Free Alternatives to Candy Melts...
« on: October 26, 2011, 01:29:14 PM »
Just got a Babycakes cake pop maker - a lot of the recipes call for candy melts to be melted into icing.  Has anyone come across dairy free candy melts or white chocolate?  I think I could warm the icing to make it thinner & easy to spread and then glaze the pops with a dairy free sugar/soymilk glaze...any suggestions?

It's like chocolate that comes in different colors. It melts easily.  It's used to dip and coat treats.
