Target store's silicone candy / ice tray molds
I make chocolate from scratch (I melt down unsweetened chocolate and add sweetener and mix ins) a couple times a month and really enjoy being able to control the sweetness and add in some of my favorite nuts, fruit, salt, spices, etc.
But I've never used it to make molded candy so this was an experiment for me.
Once the chocolate was ready, I dusted the molds with Organic Cocoa Powder to add some flavor.
Once they were all filled I popped them in the freezer for about 15 minutes and voila:
The chocolate popped out of the awesome molds with no problems. They even cleaned up easily ready for the next project!
I picked up some colored foil from Michael's Crafts today to try to fancy up my first candy and wrapped them up for storage.

| I keep them in the fridge so they're cold and will last longer........especially if I'm not seeing them on the counter! |
So pretty pleased with these $1 molds from Target..........thanks Averie for the ideas again.....

These are so pretty! I would have never thought to wrap them but it really makes them seem special when you eat one! Love it
ReplyDeleteAngela they turned out so wonderfully and thanks for linking me up and glad you took the idea and ran with it...faster than I did even :) My molds still sit untouched. For now.
ReplyDeleteA woman wrote to me after I posted this and said she (independent of my post) bought the molds, made chocolate in them coincidentally, but hers tasted really plastic-ey and chemically due to leaching she felt. Glad to hear you had none of that.
Your chocolates look great!
Nope didn't have any taste other than yummy Chocolate, thank goodness. I used them for ice as well and didn't have any rubber taste so I think they're fine. Thanks again.
