Candy making 101

Making Clusters, Cups and Barks

From January to December, clusters, cups and bark are reliable candies that you can make in no time and with little skill required. All you need is a taste for great flavor combinations and an imagination.

Hint: Clusters, cups and bark must always be chilled while they harden, to prevent blooming.

Cups

Instructions: Melt Make’n Mold® candy wafers in ChocoMaker® Candy Melter or a large bowl. Add 1 cup of ingredients to 1 pound of melted wafers. Stir until ingredients are completely coated with melted wafers.

Arrange Make’n Mold® candy cups on a cookie sheet (for better results, place cups in a Make’n Mold® Peanut Butter cup mold to prevent candy cups from moving around while filling). Drop the melted mixture into the candy cups, filling them almost to the top. Chill 10-15 minutes.

Clusters

Instructions: Melt Make’n Mold® candy wafers in ChocoMaker® Candy Melter or a large bowl. Add 1 cup of ingredients to 1 pound of melted wafers. Stir until ingredients are completely coated with melted wafers.

Drop the melted mixture by teaspoonfuls onto a waxed paper-lined cookie sheet. Chill 10-15 minutes.

Bark

Instructions: Melt Make’n Mold® candy wafers in ChocoMaker® Candy Melter or a large bowl. Add 1 cup of ingredients to 1 pound of melted wafers. Stir until ingredients are completely coated with melted wafers.

Spread the mixture out onto a waxed paper-lined cookie sheet, about ½” thin. If desired, drizzle with a second color of melted wafers. Chill 10-15 minutes.
