Merckens candy melts?

Does anyone know where I can find the mercken brand candy melts locally?  I tried the "make n mold" brand from Hobby Lobby but these just aren't melting enough to dip the cake pops.  I added enough oil to where I could dip the cake, but then it didn't harden.  If I can find the merckens and some paramount crystals (?), then maybe I can get these to turn out better.  Thank you!

    Make-a-cake only has chocolate Merckens.  They don't carry the different colors.

    That's usually what I do too.  I went in this morning and they didn't even have the white melts Sad

    I called both places and the Amazing Cake supply said they have what I'm looking for.  I'm planning to make a trip there on Saturday.  I'm such a beginner, I wouldn't even know where to start if I had to color my own.  My goal is to make the cake pops #1. edible and #2. not look like a giant glob of something no one will want to eat :lol:
