Silly question coming......

If I'm going to make some choccies using a mould, what's the best way to make it and what do you use for the chocolate ?
ie.. choc buttons, plain choc, dark choc, white choc, cream, milk :confused:

I get choc melts-buttons- and melt them in a metal bowl inside a saucepan of boiling water- just keep stirring.
We did a few hundred milk and white sheep as our wedding reception thank yous.

Do I have to put anything in the moulds to make it easy to get the chocs out ?
And what is the best way to get the choc into the moulds without making a huge mess ?
And approx how many chocs do you get from 1 packet of choc melts ? My moulds are only smallish.

Sorry for the silly questions but I've never done it before :o

use a teaspoon to sort of drip the chocolate into the moulds.....

the melted chocolate tends to go a long way ie 1 bag of melts will make a fair few chocolates...

no don't need to 'grease' the moulds just melted chocolate straight in....

You can buy bulk chocolate from choc mould stores.

There's a good one online...

Thanks Harlequin they look sooooo tasty **licks lips**

BTW How is your cutey DD doing ? We were in the Nov 06 thread together so she is the same age as my DS. They're growing up too fast aren't they.

I've started to do my choccies today and so far I have more choc than moulds.
Can I keep the already melted choc aside until the moulds are set and then re-warm the leftover choc to refill the moulds ?

Heya, no problem :)

She's going well, thanks for asking! They do grow up quickly, it's insane. :D
Hope your son is well too!
