GYGI’S CHOCOLATE EXTRAVAGANZA: THIS FRIDAY & SATURDAY!
“I’ve never used your chocolate molds before. Do you have any tips?”
-Dave
Dave,
Thanks to our friends at Wilton, we do have some very helpful tips about chocolate molds for you!
You want to be sure you keep your molds clean and dry. And don’t use anything abrasive to clean them, because it can scratch the mold and ruin the finish if your chocolates. Then, once you have melted your chocolate, here’s what you should do:
Step 1: Place melted candy in your mold using a spoon, melting bottle, or disposable decorating bag. When mold is filled, lightly tap it several times on a counter to eliminate air bubbles in the candy.
Step 2: Place the filled mold in the refrigerator or freezer until candy has set. When the underside of the candy mold appears to be frosted, you’re ready to remove the candy. If there are any dark areas on the underside of the mold, it means some of the coating is still soft. In this case, chill the mold for a few more minutes until the entire mold has a frosted appearance.
Step 3: To remove, turn over the mold about an inch above a flat surface covered with parchment or waxed paper. Gently flex or tap the mold and out come your candies!
Let us know if you have any other questions! We are happy to help!
