I just counted, and I used 23 separate colors in my Easter chocolates.  That's a long ingredient list!

 

Sure, but 23 colors of CB are made up of the same 10 ingredients.

 

For example, Webstaurant store has spec sheets for a bunch of Roxy & Rich colors.  I found 11 colors that I currently use:

 

red ruby: CB, mica based pearlescent pigment (mbpp), red #40

orange garnet: CB, mbpp, yellow #6

yellow chrysoberyl: CB, mbpp, yellow #5

gold: CB, mbpp, yellow #5, yellow #6, red #40, blue #2

green sphene:  CB, mbpp, yellow #5, blue #1

turquoise: CB, mbpp, blue #1, yellow #5

aquamarine: CB, mbpp, blue #1

blue sapphire: CB, mbpp, blue #2

purple amethyst: CB, mbpp, red #3, blue #2, red #40, rice protein

pirate black: CB, blue #2, red #40, yellow #6, blue #1, yellow #5

white zircon: CB, mbpp, titanium dioxide

 

but if I don't have to list each color separately, I could just say

colored cocoa butters (CB, mbpp, red #40, yellow #6, yellow #5, blue #2, blue #1, red #3, titanium dioxide, rice protein)

 

I'll check with the inspector if that's ok
