Painting
Instructions: Place 3-4 Make'n Mold candy wafers in each cavity of the Make'n Mold painter's palette. Place painter's palette in the microwave for 30 seconds on half power. Use a separate toothpick to stir each color of wafers. Continue melting for 30 second intervals on half power until each color of wafers is melted.
Use a paintbrush from the painter's palette to paint the details in each mold cavity with just one of the colors of melted wafers. Then go back and paint with a different color. Once you've finished painting, melt any color wafers and fill the remainder of each mold cavity. If making lollipops, then insert sticks. Chill 10-15 minutes, then remove candy pieces from mold just as you would remove unpainted pieces.
Hint 1: It's important to only paint with one color at a time, making sure that each color of wafers has hardened before painting with the next color. Chill 1-2 minutes between colors to make them harden faster.
Hint 2: Hold the candy mold up to the light to check your progress.
Hint 3: Use a toothpick instead of a paintbrush for the really delicate features.

Marbleizing
Instructions: Choose a base color then 1, 2, or 3 additional colors of Make’n Mold candy wafers to marbleize. Melt a pound of the base color in a large dish or the ChocoMaker® candy melter. Melt about ¼ cup of each of the additional color(s) in separate Make'n Mold® microwaveable trays. Once all colors are melted, pour each of the additional colors into the base color in the large dish or candy melter. Use a fork to gently swirl the colors together, creating a marbleized effect. Spoon the marbleized mixture into molds or dip various items into the mixture, then chill 10-15 minutes.
