Troubeshoot my HCOAS

I made some yesterday. I tried it out- it was good, but didn't melt all the way. I just made some more and it's still trying to fully melt. Did I just not use a good chocolate?

What chocolate do you use?!  Mine doesn't look like the picture either--- one of the pictures I saw was a light chocolate color. Mine is dark...  Have I just messed it up?  It's great to just eat off the stick though

*Also- I don't recommend the sticks you use for lollipops- they tend to unroll when sitting in hot milk for a bit.

Mine came out dark, too.  I used Ghirardelli chocolate.  And I usually had some pieces that didn't dissolve quite right.

I think it's just that chocolate can be tricky to work with.

I used Guitarrd chocolate and it turned out great. Also, I made sure it never got too hot- I basically kept it on low the whole time. Do you think yours "tempered"?
