Candy Molds, need chocolate suggestion

[Trish Bessette]

I got the neatest chocolate factory set for Christmas with a bunch of chocolate molds.

Can anyone recommend a good chocolate to use? I really don't care of the kind you can get at the craft store. Can I melt chocolate chips? Would that work the same?

I want to make some heart lollypops for Valentines Day along with chocolate dipped strawberries.

Thanks for your help!

Chocolate chips will not work the same/ I love Merkins. It is a reallly great tasting smooth melting chocolate for candy making!!!

I like to purchase my candy making supplies from Loran Oils.....I have to be honest I haven't tried their chocolate but their lollipop oils are yummy!

I've used chocolate chips with no problems!
