Can anyone help on how to colour cocoa butter. I want to put a touch of colour on my moulded chocolates but I am unsure how to do this. i have tried colouring tempered white chocolate but the colours are always a pastel shade, I want them to be brighter in colour. I hope someone can help[:)]

yes it is greasy because it is a fat. Once you melt the butter you can add your colour. If you use the coloured cocoa butter mix, you must temper the cocoa butter.
