When heating candy melts, make sure to reduce the power on the microwave and use shorter increments of time, stirring in between or they may not melt properly.
I usually:
reduce power to 70% or less and heat for 1 minute and 30 seconds
then take them out and stir
then reduce power to 70% or less again and heat for another 30 seconds
take them out and stir
and continue the same process until all small pieces are melted
