Ingredients

  • 1 cup Wilton white candy melts
  • blue coloring paste
  • cup powdered sugar
  • 1 stick unsalted butter room temperature
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp. milk
  • ½ cup shredded coconut
  • royal icing toppers
  • 1 Wilton Stack-N-Melt Candy Mold

Instructions

  • A Wilton Candy Melt Pot is recommended to heat candy melts. If you do not own a candy melt pot simply microwave candy melts at 50% for 30 seconds. Stir. Heat at 50% for 30 seconds. Stir. Heat at 50% in 15-second intervals and stir until completely smooth. Do not over heat.
  • Add blue coloring paste to white candy melts until desired blue is achieved. If candy melts become too thick simply add a touch of coconut oil to thin.
  • Using a spoon, slowly pour candy melts into each rectangular cavity. Rotate the mold from side to side, ensuring all sides are coated. It’s best to focus on one rectangle at a time. Dip out any excess candy melt. The goal is to create a thin layer. Gently tap mold onto countertop to remove air bubbles. Place mold in freezer for 30 minutes.
  • In medium mixing bowl, cream butter with electric mixer. Slowly add powdered sugar while mixing on slow speed. Add vanilla extract and milk until combined. Finally, add shredded coconut. Set aside.
  • Remove mold from freezer. Add coconut buttercream filling into each circular cavity. Leave enough room for the filling to be covered by the other half of the candy shell. Pour a thin layer of blue candy melts on top of each cavity, creating an enclosure. Wipe any excess from the side. Place mold in freezer for 30 minutes.
  • Remove mold. Gently pop each candy from the mold. Add a drop of blue candy melt to royal icing toppers and place on each candy.
  • Place candies in freezer for 15 minutes. Remove and serve!
