Step by Step Instructions:

For this guide we will be using the 'Bon Bon with Flower' Chocolate Mould and ‘Wilton’ Chocolate (Candy) Melts. Make sure your mould and all utensils are fully dry as chocolate will seize and become unworkable if it comes into contact with even a few droplets of water.

(Candy melts are specially formulated so that they melt easily and will set without any need for tempering. Thy are available in milk, dark, white, and even flavoured and coloured varieties and are a great way to get started into the world of chocolate moulding).

Wilton ‘Candy Melts’ can be melted in a variety of ways (microwave, doubler boiler) but for all methods; do not overheat by melting on too high a setting or for too long as the chocolate loses its proper consistency if overheated or if liquids are added.

Personally, I like to use the double boiler technique. To do this, fill lower pan with water to below level of top pan. Heat water to a simmer, and then remove from heat. Put white Candy Melts in top pan and set in position on lower pan. Stir constantly, without beating, until smooth and completely melted.

Apply the melted chocolate to the flower shape in the top of the mould, I like to use a brush for this. If detailing a smaller area like eyes on a face mould I like to use a tooth pick or a grease proof paper cone to make sure the areas were detailed accurately.

Check out our guide on 'How to Detail Chocolate Moulds'.

Gently tap the mould on the work surface a couple of times to ensure the chocolate goes right into the cavities and there are no air gaps.

Turn the mould over and check the areas you wanted have been covered.

Pour the melted chocolate into the moulds using a spoon, disposable decorating bag or squeeze bottle, I find the squeeze bottle easier as you can be a lot more accurate with it. Gently tap the mould on the work surface a couple of times to ensure the chocolate goes right into the cavities and there are no air gaps.

(Note: If you are using a 3D mould, you would clip the 3-D mould sections together with fold back clips).

 Remove the mould from the fridge. 

To release the chocolate pieces turn over the mould and gently push the back of the cavity. take care not to damage the chocolate pieces as they fall away from the mould, you can release the chocolates over a tea towel for 'soft landing'.

Package up your chocolates to give to family and friends, just make sure to make enough for yourself :-)
