Add a Bold Twist to White Chocolate
Chefmaster Black Oil-Based Colouring is made specifically for chocolate, fondue, coatings, and other fat-based mixtures. Unlike water-based dyes, this oil-soluble colouring blends evenly into chocolate without causing it to seize or thicken. It can also be added directly to melted white chocolate in your , creating a bright, themed curtain of colour for events, parties, or displays. Add a few drops to melted white chocolate to achieve anything from a light grey tone to a deep, rich black.
Perfect for dessert parlours, chocolatiers, ice cream shops, and themed events, this concentrated colouring gives you full control over your results. Black is a popular choice for Halloween displays, galaxy or space themed desserts, monochrome themes, and even wedding or brand-coloured creations. Whether you’re preparing a dramatic fondue fountain or eye-catching dipped treats, it helps you create a striking visual finish that keeps customers talking.
How to Use Black Oil-Based Colouring
Chefmaster Candy Color is highly concentrated, so a little goes a long way. Add one drop at a time, mixing well after each addition until you reach your desired shade. This drop-by-drop method gives you full control and helps prevent over-colouring.
If your chocolate thickens as you add colour, stir in a small amount of cocoa butter or vegetable oil to maintain a smooth, glossy texture.
Tip: Always use oil-based colouring for chocolate or other fat-based recipes. Water-based colourings can cause mixtures to seize. Chefmaster’s formula keeps your chocolate silky and easy to work with every time.
Not Just for Chocolate – Ideal for Fat-Based Recipes
Chefmaster Candy Color isn’t limited to chocolate — it can be used in any oil or fat-based product. Black colouring is a favourite for Halloween desserts, Oreo-style coatings, black buttercream cakes, and modern dessert displays where you want to make a bold impression.
It’s perfect for:
• Cocoa butter – for moulds, brushing, or airbrushing decorations.
• Candy melts and compound coatings – great for cake pops, bars, and coatings.
• Fondue and ganache – ideal for themed dessert fountains or buffets.
• Butter-based icings and buttercream – smooth results that hold colour beautifully.
• Ice cream coatings and toppings – create dramatic, high-contrast desserts.

Q: What type of chocolate does this work best with?
A: Oil-based colouring works best with white chocolate, as it provides a clean base that allows colours to appear bright and accurate. It can also be used in milk or dark chocolate, but the natural brown tones will affect the final shade — for example, black will appear deeper, while lighter colours may not show well.
Q: Can I use this in white chocolate?
A: Yes. It’s designed for use with white chocolate and other fat-based coatings. It mixes evenly without causing seizing.
Q: What else can I use it for?
A: It’s also suitable for cocoa butter, candy melts, buttercream, fondue, ganache, and ice cream coatings.
Q: How should I use it?
A: Add one drop at a time and mix well between additions until you reach your desired shade. The colouring is highly concentrated.
Q: Does it affect the flavour?
A: No. It’s completely neutral and won’t change the taste of your chocolate or fondue.
Q: Can I mix this with water-based colourings?
A: No. Water and oil don’t mix. Always use oil-based colourings for chocolate or fat-based recipes.
Q: How is the bottle sealed?
A: Each bottle has a mess-free twist-top cap and is heat-sealed for safety. Remove the seal before use.
Q: Can this make grey chocolate?
A: Yes. By adding just a small amount of black oil-based colouring to white chocolate, you can create a light or mid-grey tone. The more colour you add, the darker the shade becomes. Always mix in a little at a time until you reach the tone you want.
Q: Why do oil-based colourings work better with chocolate?
A: Chocolate contains cocoa butter, which is a fat. Oil-based colourings blend smoothly with fats, giving even colour and a glossy finish. Water-based colourings don’t mix properly with chocolate and can cause it to seize, turning thick or grainy. That’s why oil-based colours are the professional choice for chocolate and cocoa butter.
Q: Can I mix different colours together?
A: Yes. Chefmaster Oil-Based Colourings can be mixed to create custom shades. Simply blend a few drops of each colour into your melted white chocolate or coating until you reach the tone you want. Mix small amounts first to test the result.
Q: I’ve noticed that some Chefmaster products contain glycerin. Is it derived from a plant or animal source?
A: The glycerin used in Chefmaster products is plant-based, making it suitable for vegan and vegetarian diets.
Q: How do you get food colouring off your skin?
A: Wash the affected area with soap and water, or use a soft scrub. Dish soap also works well to remove any remaining colour.
