I'm making molded chocolate music notes, but need them to be black in color? Can I use black color paste to tint the chocolate and it still harden?

If your food color paste is oil based, you can add it to chocolate after it has been tempered. If you use it in confectioner's coating, you add it after it is melted completely. It will darken the chocolate and harden. If your paste is water based, you can't add it to chocolate or confectioner's coating at all, as it will cause it to seize- or harden instantly and become grainy. Unless you are just set on using chocolate, you might look for Wilton brand coating chips where they sell cake decorating supplies. Around this time of year, they usually release a black colored coating especially for Halloween. It doesn't have a chocolate taste, but it is black and ready to melt and mold.

How To Make Chocolate Black

use white chocolate and use a food color, usually a powder, that is FAT soluble, if you just add drops of food color the chocolate will seize. make sure the you keep the chocolate in temper, do not get it too hot!

I would use liquid food coloring instead. But it is certainly worth a shot.

actually chocolate is not black. if you look closely it is really a shade of brown. so yes you can color chocolate black.
