Why do I have air bubbles in my chocolate?

It is a good idea to tap the mold several times against the work surface to dislodge any trapped air after pouring. If this is a chronic problem, you may need to pour at a slightly higher temperature.

What is the best way to wrap lollies?

We stock a good selection of plastic bags sized for lollies. Place the bag over the end and tie the end closed with a curling ribbon bow or twist tie.

What is the best way to display lollies for sale?

Our lolly displays work great. They hold the lollies upright and separated.

Can your clips be used for metal chocolate molds (3D)?

We don't have metal molds to try them on, but they can clamp to a depth of approximately 3/8 inch.

Can the Latex molds for candlemaking / soap making be used for chocolate?

We do have some customers that use them for chocolate, however some of them are difficult to remove without breaking the chocolate. Furthermore since most of these are textured inside, the chocolate would not have a nice shiny finish.

When is the best time to add the stick to chocolate lollys?

This is pretty much a matter of personal preference. I place the sticks immediately after pouring and tapping to release any trapped air. It is a good idea to roll the stick after placement in the chocolate to improve coverage.

Once you have poured your chocolate in your molds and they have hardened, what is the best way to remove the lollies from the mold without breaking them?

Generally they should fall right out once fully cooled. Turn the mold over and hold just above the work surface, then flex the mold gently. Most chocolate makers place the molds in a freezer to hasten demolding.

Does it work to use food coloring in white chocolate? If not, are colors really possible?

Food coloring does work if you use the right type of food color, however it is far more popular to buy the chocolate wafers precolored. Many food colors contain water and are incompatible with chocolate - I use only powdered food color in chocolate.

I purchased the embed chocolate cookie molds and was wondering how long can the finished chocolate covered cookies be stored?

Slightly longer than a non chocolate covered sandwich cookie. The chocolate will stall the cookies from going stale because the chocolate blocks air circulation.
