Part of making these cake pops is to use candy melts to cover the pops and within the channel there is a CANDY MELT FAQ’s:, here below is an excerpt from the channel about candy melts
WHERE CAN I FIND CANDY MELTS?
Candy melts can be found at certain craft stores (like Michaels and Hobby Lobby) and at the Bulk Barn if you live in Canada (see store website for store locator). I have been told they are sold at some Walmart locations and at grocery stores in certain places in the USA.
I have been told they are available at Hobbycraft in the UK.
They are also for sale online on websites like Amazon, Ebay and the Wilton and Merckens website (and others)
We pay about $6 a pound for them here in Ontario, Canada.WHAT ARE CANDY MELTS AND WHAT DO THEY TASTE LIKE?
They are a candy confection designed to be melted and they harden nice and shiny without tempering. Most of them taste like white chocolate. The chocolate coloured ones have some cocoa in them and taste like mild milk chocolate but they do come in other flavours.
The colours I use (red,green,yellow,blue,purple,pink,black,white,orange) all taste the same, just like white chocolate.I CAN’T GET CANDY MELTS, CAN I DYE WHITE CHOCOLATE?
You can tint white chocolate various colours if you use oil based colours. Water based colours will cause the candy melts to “seize up”. I have been told that powdered colours also work, but I’ve never tried them. I have found oil based colours online and in craft stores (and Bulk Barn). Paste food colour can be used, but I find that they tend not to colour the chocolate evenly and you get lots of specks of colour in the chocolate because of the water in the gel or the paste.
