We do NOT pack the chocolate in ice packs. If ordering during warm months or shipping to a warm state, melting will occur. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE for any chocolate that arrives melted. If melting occurs, it can be remelted without any performance or taste issues. Don’t Buy a full pound if you don’t need one! With the Merckens Color Mix you can selected multiple colors sold in 1/4# Bags! Perfect for small projects with lots of colors or just testing Merckens colored chocolate out! Known for consistent & superior quality, the Merckens® brand of chocolate has been used by premium chocolate retail confectioners for more than 80 years. The Merckens Colored Chocolate Wafers have a nice vanilla flavor (black has cocoa inside causing it to taste more like a dark chocolate). Compared to other brands, Merckens does NOT have a waxy taste to them due to their superior quality. Merckens colors & super white are very easy to work with but, naturally melt thick, & we strongly recommend Paramount Crystals which thin the chocolate down (We sell Paramount Crystals! Check our listing page!). Think You’ll need a full pound? We offer a full pound quantity in our Merckens Colored Chocolate Listing! Your Chocolate is sealed in a plastic bag, then carefully wrapped in additional packing material. If you have any questions or need clarification, please message us. We operate the Midwest’s largest retail cake, candy, & chocolate supply store. Selling Cake & Chocolate Supplies is our specialty! Merckens 1/4# Color Mix Chocolate Coatings
