can you use melted chocolate in the mold?

I am not sure coz I have so far used it for fondant but I am guessing it should be ok.

You should be able to. I use mine for soap, but it is food grade silicone so chocolate would be OK.

Yes, you should be able to use this in melted chocolate. I'm not sure about the chemistry behind it, but it shouldn't seize. I use my emulsions in a mixture of 1/2 cup cacao powder, 1/2 cup coconut oil, 3 T. pure maple syrup and 1 tsp. emulsion of choice. I stir with a whisk until well blended, pour into chocolate molds, chill 30 minutes and it's perfect. Good Luck!!

Yes you can I have used this mold with chocolate, gumpaste,wax,clay,and fondant works well with all I have made a total of over 400 of these babies and never had a problem with this mold

Oh yes. That is what this mold is made for. It worked beautifully for my chocolates. Just be sure to chill mold about 15-20 minutes before trying to unmold, otherwise the chocolate will break apart or will not release very well. Hope this helps.

I would say start with a cup and as they melt, you can add more. I usually use the Wilton candy disks. I love this melting pot. It works great. It just melts the candy and doesn't get hot enough to ruin the candies.

check out the silicone molds from freshware, they have a 1/2 sphere dome that is 1" (not sure if you're looking for smaller) I work with resin and love their molds (they come out nice and shiny), I don't think I'd bother trying with this, probably better luck just finding a cheap chocolate mold in the half dome and releasing by popping in a freezer after the resin cures.

I have not tried it with chocolate. But, It should be no problem. The right temperature range would be the most important aspect. You would not want it to cool or the chocolate will start to set in the funnel.I bought this, primarly to use with isomalt. But, with my production schedule, have not got to use it yet.

Super Easy to do! Buy candy melts (grocery stores or craft stores like Michael's sell these in bags) and melt them according to directions (in microwave) and add I tablespoon of veg oil to make super smooth. Then pour into the molds, scrape the flat side with a butter knife, then pop the plastic mold tray in the fridge. You can use the molds for true chocolate (melted in a double boiler or in microwave) in the same way. Once hard, pop them out and use the tray over and over again!

not sure what you mean.... melted caramels inside the mold or caramel inside chocolate? I haven't tried anything caramel and don't know how it dries in comparison to chocolate. I pour hot melted chocolate into the molds and as they cool, they become harder. When they are hardened through to the touch (When I am making alot, I sometimes stick them in the freezer for a brief time period to speed this process up) Once hardened, they pop right out of the molds. There is minimal cleanup involved!

Yes, Kotobukiya has many molds including this one that will work fine in chocolate crafting.

When I did it I poured my chocolate into each of the molds and let it set. After it was firmly set, I popped them out of the mold. Then I warmed up a small skillet and carefully held the chocolate with the flat side out and touched it to the pan just long enough to get the chocolate melted enough I could then place another chocolate shell on it to make it fully 3D

What I bought was a mold to pour chocolate into. I don't have the actual item anymore, it was a gift for someone, but it was definitely a mold to put the chocolate into.

No, I use modeling chocolate or fondant to make a wrapper for it after it is baked. I've also made a wrapper by pouring melted chocolate into the mold and then stacking cake rounds in it . A few layers of chocolate is strong enough to hold the cake.

I do think the little Anchor Hocking bowls would tolerate being used in a water bath in the oven or being set into a pan of very hot/almost boiling water on the stove (use as a mini-double-boiler), as the glass is thick, tempered glass. I would think you could put melting chocolate or chocolate chips in one of the bowls and set the bowl into a pan of hot water to get the candy to melt. I think my daughter has used them in this way when melting small quantities of coating chocolate. Sometimes she needs just a little bit of another color for contrast when decorating cake pops.

Haven't tried it, but don't see why it wouldn't work. If the pan is well greased, and the chocolate is allowed enough time to harden, seems to me as if it would work. Sure will take a lot of chocolate, though!

i use 4 molds for one batch of hard candy(so they dont overflow and stick together over the edges). ive never used them for chocolate.

Yes, you can use this on tempered chocolate. Spray it first with a bit of cooking spray & pour in your melted chocolate. It makes beautiful bi-colored chocolate if you're so inclined. I tinted some almond bark & scraped it into the crevices. I popped in the refrigerator for a few minutes and then came back and spread some untinted almond bark over it and put it back in the refrigerator for a couple more minutes. I've also used a white/dark combo with great results. It pops right out after a couple of minutes in the refrigerator and it shows the intricate designs very well. Good luck! :)
