Color chocolate - how it works

Chocolate is good for baking cakes and muffins. In this article, we show you how to color chocolate in your favorite color.

This is how you can color chocolate

The best way to color chocolate is white chocolate, because it is light and can absorb other colors well. So you need: white chocolate (quantity as you like), food coloring, a saucepan, a water bath bowl and a spatula to stir.

1. Place the pot on the stove with a little hot water. Bring the water to a boil.
2. Place the water bath bowl on the pot of hot water.
3. Pour the desired amount of chocolate into the water bath. Melt the chocolate. Make sure that no water gets into the bowl of chocolate, otherwise it will start to clot.
4. Stir the chocolate well when melting, as it can burn quickly.
5. Add one or two drops of food coloring of your choice. Mix everything well. Depending on the desired intensity, add further color.
6. Use the chocolate as a coating on a cake or muffin, keep it warm until you apply the chocolate.

Another great way to decorate baked goods and chocolate covers that have already been used is with grated chocolate. How to make grated chocolate yourself is explained in another article.
