Making Mint Green Chocolate

I experimented with making Mint Green colored candy melt yesterday. I searched the web for any help on what combination of candy melt colors would make a minty green color.  I found most people used the Mint Green Food Gel and some suggested mixing regular green and white but never gave any information on just how much of each. Since I didn’t want to use the Mint Green Food Gel (water-based food coloring can seize up chocolate) I opted for mixing the white and green.

I was pleasantly surprise that white with just a bit of green gave the nice light mint green color I wanted. 🙂

I used 8oz of White Candy Melts plus 1/4oz Green Candy or 96 White Candy Melts/Wafers plus 3 Green ones.

    THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! I have been trawling through the internet trying to find ready coloured melts/ info on how to make my own!!

    This is for a friends Christening- which the theme is white and mint- and now I can breath again!

    I primarily use Wilton melts, and they have “green” or “vibrant green” – what brand do you use, and if you use Wilton which green was this? Thanks!

    Thank you! I have been searching for a combination to get this exact colour. I am planning to make a mint green striped tier in my niece’s wedding cake. You have helped enormously.

    Thanks so much!!! I tried using a light green, white and a small amount of yellow. I got a beautiful shade of celery green!!! Not the color I was looking for. I am doing a baby shower and the colors are peach and mint green.
