Roxy & Rich Gemstone Collection Cocoa Butter, 56 Grams (Green Sphene)

These are great cocoa butters! I much prefer them to other brands which tend to be a bit thicker and more opaque. They layer beautifully and look like little jewels with inner glow. My guess is that these have more cocoa butter in them and it’s the cocoa butter that makes them shiny.For all those leaving negative reviews complaining that they arrived out of temper, they didn’t harden on your cake pops, they didn’t release from your molds, I would say the fault doesn’t lie with the cocoa butters but is user error.Colored cocoa butters should be tempered every time you use them. Yes, they come to you from the manufacturer tempered but the likelihood is that you knock them out of temper when you heat them. Or, perhaps they were knocked out of temper in the shippers warehouse. The safest thing to do is to temper them before every use:Heat them to 40C, cool them to 27C while stirring (very important to agitate them to develop those beta V crystals), then gently heat again to between 29-30C if your hand painting. Room temperature should be between 18C and 21C.Good luck!

This is my first time using colored cocoa butter, so I went with this brand since it's cheaper than the rest. I honestly expected it to just be okay, and the color (Green Crystal) to just be a plain green. It looked ugly in the bottle, so I kept my expectations low. After heating it up and tempering, it's absolutely stunning and glittery!! It set up in the polycarbonate mold just fine and came right out on the chocolates, still bright and glittery!

This product is beautiful and easy to use I would buy this again

color is really bright and nice i have bought several colors

Very easy to use and the results are excellent overall. My only complaint is the color. Emerald is SO dark. I thought forest green would be darker. It is so hard to tell by the package. There should be better packaging to give you a better idea of shades. Just a plain green would have worked better. And the gold is more of a yellow gold. It worked okay, but both show up much better against white background and white chocolate candies.

Does a great job for a pale, pastel with a shimmer in it.

This product is awful. I was told it came in liquid form and it’s completely hard and can’t get it out to melt.

I’ve overheated it by accident and it still works. Bonbons in the picture were made using this product
