How To Add Color To White Chocolate Wafers??

Can you tell me how to add color to white chocolate wafers?
I was trying to create red color chocolate for a rose. When I added the color to white chocolate, it started getting hard where I couldn't even blend it.
It turned hard and wasn't able to blend into molds. Is there something I did wrong, or is it just best to buy the chocolate already colored??
Thanks!
Hi Marisol,
Did you just use red food coloring to try to color the white chocolate? The base of regular food coloring is water. Water makes chocolate seize up, so that would be why your white chocolate got all stiff.
It IS probably easier to buy the colored chocolate melts. You can get them at
Candyland Crafts.
But, you can also color white chocolate like you are trying to do. You just need to use the right kind of
oil based candy coloring.
I'd love to see your chocolate roses when you get them done to perfection. :-) You can show them off to us
here. Can't wait!
Have fun!
