        Did you use the Salted Caramel candy melts and melt in the microwave in 30 second increments stirring in between? If so, it could be the power of your microwave. Since all microwaves are different you may need to reduce the time in between, reduce the power or use a double boiler instead.

      Hey there! I love this idea! I’m considering making these and selling them for a church fundraiser. About how much does it cost to make 6 cider Bombs?

      Can you substitute the candy melts with baking chips? I am only able to find baking chips in the salted caramel flavor.

        I have not tried it with baking chips before so not sure how the chocolate would hold up from that. You could try and see if it works. May need to add another layer of melted chocolate to thicken it up. I’ve seen the salted caramel melting wafers at Hobby Lobby, Michaels and Walmart. Not sure if you have any of those nearby.

      This sounds like a wonderful idea! I think I’m going to add Red Hots candy to mine. Either in the contents with the cider mix or on the outside for decoration. Or maybe both!
