How Do You Get That Chocolate Blue?
First food color |

After Crystal Colors were added |
I started with melted white chocolate and added oil-based blue food color 
to get it to a medium blue color. I then used a pot of dark blue Crystal Colors, which is a powdered color so it won't make the chocolate do anything weird if you use a lot of it.
I ended up using an entire pot of the Navy blue, then I added more oil-based candy color until I got it pretty dark.
Something else to keep in mind is that darker colors tend to get a little darker when they sit for a while, so you don't want to go too far or you'll end up with a deeper shade than you want. Add the corn syrup to it, let it set up...
