What is candy coating?!


Question: What is candy coating?
I have an American recipe book which tells me to use 'candy coating' - looking at the pictures, it looks likes chocolate. But there is a part in the book that says to not use chocolate instead of candy coating because it doesn't set as well.

What would be the English equivalent of candy coating? Any idea?

You can buy candy coating in loads of colours here: http://www.sugarshack.co.uk/product/3124…

But if it's a chocolate type they want you to use, just buy cooking chocolate (i think it's called chocolate flavoured cake covering now) silverspoon make it and I'm sure Tesco and the other supermarkets have their own brands too. It looks like this: http://www.sainsburys.co.uk/groceries/in…
