Chocolate molds
Hello, I’m trying to play with chocolate molds. What’s the best way to melt the chocolate. I tried to melt dark chocolate chips and it didn’t work. I got a paste. I melted milk chocolate yesterday but it wasn’t as “liquid” as in the lessons. Do I add anything to it?

Hi Nadine,
The chocolate has to be tempered properly to pop out of the molds all shiny and snappy.
There are a couple of courses here that include information about tempering. You’ll need a good thermometer.

Thank you for that quick response. My apologies I think my question wasn’t clear. How do I make the chocolate liquid enough to pour into the mold and then pour out? It’s pretty thick and as it cools it gets thicker.

You have to use a special chocolate to use with molds.
Chocolate chips are designed to be used on cookies and cakes, as they have a high butter content, they do not melt as easily in the oven as that is the objective of chocolate chips.
I leave you two links to courses that may interest you.
