Not actual chocolate, candy wafers are also known in the culinary world as compound coating or confectionery coating; a candy wafer is a chocolate-like product where the cocoa butter has been replaced with a different fat, usually palm kernel oil; with cocoa butter out of the picture, you will not have to temper this product to achieve shine, snap, and a smooth mouth feel; when using candy wafers, you need to melt the wafers completely and chill the finished product to ensure proper setup
Candy wafers are similar to chocolate but have a few differences, which make them easier to work with; for example, if you ever try to melt chocolate chips or chocolate bars, you may end up with a fudge-like mass that is too thick for drizzling, fondue, or painting inside a candy mold -- or worse, have the finished piece look white-ish gray and streaky after it set; candy wafers are easier to work with than chocolate, have comparable flavor, and yield a professional-looking product every time
The microwave is the most popular means of melting candy wafers because it is a dry-heat method that is quick and convenient for people in their home kitchen: using a microwave-safe bowl, heat candy wafers at 50-percent power for 30-second intervals until wafers are melted; make sure to stir in betw. each 30-second round in the microwave: candy wafers will not change shape unless they are stirred; another melting method is the double boiler; instructions on package for melting with double boiler
