Notes
To avoid color fading chocolate candies:
- Chocolate candy such as M&Ms and Smarties can color fade if you leave them in the fridge for too long! If it's too hot to set on the bench only put it in the fridge for one hour, then remove it.
- If worst comes to worst and your candy does fade, I have successfully repainted the color with food coloring and a clean, fine paintbrush.
