If i understand correctly, you are trying to make the candy melts black?
What type of color are you using? You can try Americolor black.

It is really hard to get a true black. If you are using buttercream, make it a very dark chocolate brown 1st, then add your black wilton food colouring. You will get it dark, but a true dark black. But against any other colour, trust me, it WILL look black. As far as the candy melts, thats a puzzel. I have never tried to make brown become black. Try googling that one, maybe some advice will come up that way.

thank you, that is very doable and to be safe i also bought the new wilton black spray food coloring so will test that on top of it to be safe
