I've got a few questions.  I accidentally picked up the butter flavored Crisco shortening sticks to use with Enjoy Life chocolates.  I'm making the chocolate lollipops.

I called the company and got a recorded message about how they label for the major 8 allergens.  Okay, I don't see milk on the label but it does say natural flavors. 

How is this company as far as labelling?  It is the J. M. Smucker Co.

Also --

Will this work with my chocolates?  Or do I need to run out and get regular shortening?

Making these RIGHT NOW ...... or as soon as I get the info.

Thanks for any help!

It should work just like plain Crisco, it's just flavored. However, I think the butter flavored Crisco is just a gross fake replication of "butter taste".  It's going to flavor your final product.

Thanks!! -- do you think it will adversely affect the taste of chocolate lollipops?

depends, but instinctively I'm going to say yes.  Mostly b/c I really think butter flavor Crisco is vomitous.

So how much crisco did you end up using?  DD was with me at the cake decorating shop and saw all the chocolate molds and of course wants to make some.  I told her we had to get through this weekend first (retirement ceremony/party).

I ended up using 1 T in a bag of Enjoy Life chips.  Don't know if it was really needed.  Does seem to make it smooth.  And if it is smoooooth, it just pours nicely off a spoon as you are filling the mold.  Then gently tap on the table to make any bubbles go away.

...should also make them easier to bite into when eating or be more "melty in the mouth".

It is important for the chocolate to not go white or chalky after having been metled as well.
