Making Chocolate Molds

Project designed by Gayle ReMine.

Materials:

releasable surface mold:
- use plastic toys, plastic hats, glass or plastic bowls/trays, etc.
spoon
hobby chocolate available in grocery and craft stores

Steps:

1. Make sure the mold is clean of any debris.
2. Melt hobby chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval. Melt until chocolate is liquid.
3. Spoon chocolate into mold. Move mold around so chocolate seeps into all parts of the mold. Repeat.
4. Place in refrigerator and chill until chocolate has set up. Chocolate will shrink slightly and should release from surface easily once dry.

Tips:

• When dipping strawberries, wipe berries off rather than wash them in water. The strawberry will hold the water and will shrink inside the chocolate.
• Water makes chocolate seize up when melting. Keep water away from chocolate.
• Colored, edible Luster Dust can be brushed on to embellish molded white chocolate.
• Novelty ice-cube trays make terrific mini chocolate molds. Look for trays with fun shapes or messages.
