Molded Candies
Chocolate candy is pretty and
inexpensive and great fun for kids to make. Simply place melted chocolate
coating into a squeeze bottle and squirt it into the depressions of a clean, dry
mold. Fill the spaces just barely to the edge. When the mold is filled, gently
give it a tap on the work surface to release any bubbles and smooth the coating.
Place the mold in the freezer and let set for 1-2 minutes depending on the size
of the shapes. Remove from the freezer; the candy should easily pop out of the
molds. Decorate with melted chocolate as desired. You can also create chocolate
candies with more than one color by painting some details before filling the
mold. |
