Blunders are meant to be consumed, principally when experimenting with candy and chocolate making. Let the good times roll! The point is, embark with a great approach, and just have fun. Candy making is not too difficult, you’ll pick it up really easily, and find out an innovative new and fun activity, with benefits! Wait till you observe the remarkable treats that may be prepared. Who knows maybe, you’ll even start a little company and earn a few bucks.

First word of advice: Buy a good class of chocolate, not the bad waxy tasting substance that is offered at truly low prices. Every single time that I’ve done a taste test, the test person picks out the quality chocolate. It makes a world of difference. My recommendation for a really good melting chocolate will be the Merckens® brand. This make can be purchased in stores that retail cake and candy decorating supplies.

Step 1 would be to melt the chocolate as explained in our Melting Guide.

Step 2 will be to fill the mold up. Pour the melted candy accurately into the mold. The melted candy is either in the bowl, pastry bag, or perhaps a melting bottle. After the mold is filled, to some extent tap it a few times on your counter to remove any air bubbles within the candy,

Step 3 would be to Chill Out! By this I suggest to cool down the chocolate down by placing the filled molds in the refrigerator or freezer. This does not take long, within 5 to 10 minutes the chocolate is going to be ready to unmold. I usually look forward to the top of the candy to appear like it has that frosted look.

Last Step and that is number 4 Unmold Your Creation! Turn the mold over and suspend above your countertop about an in. or two. You’ll probably want the chocolates to fall over a plate or paper towels. Be cautious and gently bend the mold until the chocolates fall out. Your chocolates will remain fresh for a few weeks if your store them in a cool and dry place.

So that you can keep the goodies fresh, it isn’t essential to refrigerate them. Simply keep them in an airtight container at room temperature (if it is the summer and you do not use air-conditioning, and its 90 degrees outside, store them in a cooler space, like maybe the basement.)

Mother must have trained you well if you’ve already cleaned up. Anyway I might as well talk about it now…According to a well known source “Once you finish making candy, wash your candy molds in tepid water and dry thoroughly using soft cloth. Do not use soap or detergent as they can eventually cause molds to dry out and crack. Never boil you molds or situate them in the dishwasher. Molds can last for years if you store them the proper way. Furthermore keep them flat to avoid warping and place tissues between stacked molds to prevent scrapes.”
