Creating Memories with Chocolate Candy Molds
Most of my childhood memories revolves around cooking, mostly desserts. It seemed that just on every event in my young life, there were chocolates and candies and in different sizes and shapes. I distinctly remember those shaped chocolate candies taste a lot better compared to plain candies even if they are made of the same ingredients and recipe. I don’t know maybe it’s just the kid in me, but looking back, I think that chocolate candy molds really played a vital part in enhancing candy flavors. Those candies that were molded appealed to the eyes and actually did wonders in enhancing flavors.
If you are a mother like me, you can understand why I would love to cook with the kids. It’s not only a learning experience for them, but it also strengthens our bond. The fun that we have in the kitchen is truly memorable and something that the children would happily remember even long after they move out of the house.
I am thankful to my Mom for exposing me to baking and cooking at such a young age. Now that I have kids of my own, I can give them fun childhood memories as well. For us who love sweets, Chocolate candy molds serve as our ticket to successful desserts!
Chocolate candy molds have been made creative over the years; you wouldn’t believe your eyes! You would likely get what mold you like for any occasion. To illustrate my point, not only are there molds for Christmas and birthdays, nowadays, you also have mold options for Hanukkah, Halloween and baby showers. There are also animal, baby bottles, Father’s Day, sucker chocolate candy molds amongst other designs!
Here’s a surefire hit using your chocolate candy molds:
- Melt chocolate in oven. Put 1 lb. of chocolate in a bowl, microwave for a minute and stir. Repeat this until chocolate is mixed well and fully melted.
- Spoon the chocolate into the mold cavities. Lightly tap the molds on a table top to remove air bubbles and to level the mix.
- Let the chocolate cool. This is my children’s favorite part. We place the molds that have been filled with chocolate in the freezer for a quick cool. Putting the chocolate filled molds in the freezer actually gives them a nice, shiny surface. Larger molds will have to take 10 minutes before taking shape, while the smaller ones may be enjoyed just after 5 to 7 minutes.
- Remove the shaped candies from the chocolate candy molds. This is easy. Just turn it upside down and tap it on a clean surface. The candies should come off and voila! You have yummy candies to enjoy.
These candies re not only good for household consumption. Sure, you and your family will enjoy these delights but you have to think out of the box by getting a box involved! That’s right, you can also give these molded candies as giveaways and gifts. See, chocolate candy molds are really your ticket to homemade delightful desserts. Go ahead, make fun memories and thoughtful gifts with and for the people that you love.
