Im going to be making some chocolate candy suckers this week, And ill be using the chocolate melts from michaels, and some clear chocolate candy molds. But I dont want them to be one color. I want to put in the details with a bunch of different colors. And Im wondering what would be the best way to do this? Ive looked all over online and Cant find anything anywhere on candy decorating 101.
I thought possibly brushing different colors into the mold first, then pouring the base chocolate over that, but then wondered if it would melt the brushed chocolate back in with the other, and it would all go to waste?
And also, I want skin tone colored chocolate. How would I go about getting that?
Help Please?

buy some different colored candy melts and some cheap paint brushes and just paint on the design in the colored candy melts to the mold it won’t melt if you just freeze it for a minute or so
if you want skin tone buy light cocoa melts and white chocolate melts and mix them together
You can buy white chocolate candy melts (or almond bark) and use food coloring to dye it whatever color you want. You might test out the colors first by melting and coloring just a little bit at a time. For skin colored, I would use the white chocolate with the milk chocolate, adding the darker as you stir until it’s the color you want.
If you freeze the bottom layer of chocolate completely, adding in the next layer won’t melt the bottom. It takes longer, but it sounds like it will look really good!
