Doon – huh, that’s strange :\ I’ve never used Tollhouse white chips before. You *may* want to attempt with a better quality white chocolate (some white chips are not actual white chocolate). I’d do a test melt on a small amount so you don’t waste time or $ on a whole batch. Good luck! xo

So, I also had Bailey’s problem with the white chocolate chips melting the dark chocolate, but they also never melted into a nice smooth consistency. The white stayed a bit grainy, even melting at Low. I could not have spread it at all if I had cooled it any. I used Tollhouse white chips. Not good enough quality for candy?
Thanks,

Bailey – Both of those thoughts are what I’m thinking. If the dark hasn’t set up, it will obviously swirl together. If the white is too hot, it will melt the dark when they come into contact. I suggest letting the dark set completely. Then after melting the white, let it cool. If you temper the white chocolate, it should go on without any problems (but tempering can be tricky if you haven’t done it before).

I used the double boiler method to melt both the dark and white chocolate. I let the dark chocolate set up while the white chocolate was metling. It appeared to be firm when I poured the white chocolate over it, however when I began to spread it the dark and white chocolate started to swirl together. Should I have waited longer to pour the white chocolate? I’m thinking that either my dark chocolate hadn’t set up long enough or the white chocolate was still too warm when I poured it. Any thoughts?
