What’s the difference between Candy Coating and Real Chocolate?

Movie Night Chocolate Bark
The main difference between candy coating and real chocolate is cocoa butter. Real chocolate contains cocoa butter, while candy coating contains other natural oils such as palm kernel oil. Real chocolate requires tempering, candy coating may be melted and allowed set, it’s that easy. TEMPERING: Heating and cooling chocolate to stabilize it for making candies.

What I like to use

CANDY COATING is my choice. You can find it in chocolate and vanilla. There are several options candy melts, candy wafers but to make bark I like to use the type of melting candy that comes in a microwaveable tray. There are two brands (I know of) Kroger and CandiQuik. Both come with a microwavable tray and work great!

How to make Movie Night Candy Bar Bark
