Add a Bold Splash of Red to Your Chocolate
Chefmaster Red Oil-Based Colouring is specially designed for chocolate, fondue, coatings, and other fat-based mixtures. It’s an oil-soluble formula that blends smoothly without seizing, giving rich, consistent colour every time.
It can also be added directly to melted white chocolate in your , creating a striking red curtain of colour for themed events, parties, or displays. Add a few drops for soft rose tones, or build up for deep, dramatic red.
A go-to choice for dessert parlours, chocolatiers, and caterers, this colour is perfect for Valentine’s Day, Christmas displays, red velvet desserts, and strawberry-themed creations. From heart-shaped treats to dipped fruits, this rich red tone adds instant impact.
How to Use Red Oil-Based Colouring
Chefmaster Candy Color is highly concentrated, so start with one drop at a time and mix thoroughly before adding more. This gives you full control over colour strength — from soft pink-red to vivid crimson.
If your chocolate thickens as you add colour, stir in a little cocoa butter or vegetable oil to keep it smooth and glossy.
Tip: Always use oil-based colouring when working with chocolate or cocoa butter. Water-based dyes can cause seizing or graininess, while oil-based colours mix evenly for a professional finish.
Use Beyond Chocolate – Versatile and Reliable
This colouring isn’t limited to chocolate. It’s suitable for a range of fat-based products where water-based colours won’t blend properly.
Perfect for:
• Cocoa butter – for painting or airbrushing designs.
• Candy melts and coatings – ideal for cake pops and dipped strawberries.
• Buttercream and icings – great for Christmas cupcakes, Valentine’s cakes, and red velvet frosting.
• Fondue and ganache – colourful additions to dessert bars.
• Ice cream coatings – create eye-catching finishes for frozen desserts.

Q: What type of chocolate does this work best with?
A: Oil-based colouring works best with white chocolate, as it provides a neutral base for bright, true colours. In milk or dark chocolate, the natural cocoa colour will overpower the dye, resulting in a dull or brownish tone.
Q: Can I make light or dark shades?
A: Yes. Add a small amount for soft rose tones, or more for bold, vibrant red. Mix slowly to control the depth of colour.
Q: Why do oil-based colourings work better with chocolate?
A: Chocolate contains cocoa butter, which is fat. Oil-based colourings mix evenly with fats for smooth, glossy results. Water-based dyes can cause seizing.
Q: Does it affect the flavour?
A: No. It’s neutral and won’t change the taste of your chocolate or coating.
Q: What else can I use it for?
A: It’s also great for cocoa butter, candy melts, buttercream, fondue, ganache, and ice cream coatings.
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 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.
