OK< I know this will sound like a really stupid question but I have lots and lots of candy melts, no molds though, so my next question what can I do with them? I hate to throw them away. I bought them to make a mini size cake of a Christmas cake in a Wiltons yearbook, and didnt use much. I have sealed them with my sealing machine. Any ideas????
Or buy a food grade mold from this website: http://idealmolds.com/index.html
There are some gorgeous molds on this site.
LOL Tina! I nibble a bit on mine. They are just so tasty!
Here's the recipe for candy clay. You can use it to model all sorts of things.

I think the candy melts are very very sweet....sometimes to sweet to eat alot of but thats an idea...
I think I may try candy clay...... is it something that keeps or do you need to make it right before you use it????
I told ya I feel so stupid.... 40 years old and havent heard of alot of this stuff... I must lead a sheltered life......
It keeps a while...several weeks. It's actually better if it sits overnight before you use it. You'll want to store it tightly wrapped at room temp in an air-tight container.
You sound like me Flayvurdfun! I wish I would have gotten into the decorating a long time ago! I only started last Oct!! There's a lot of things I don't know. Heck, I didn't even know what dream whip was until dragon (Joe) told me about it!!!! That's bad!!! We're learning so that's all the matters right!!!!!
TC how in the heck did you get 278 posts in such a short time? I have been watching everyones amounts to see.... wow!
Are they chocolate or white? If so, melt them (separately) mix in 2 cups of mini pretzels and 1/2 cup of M&Ms per pound of candy melts and pour out onto a parchment-lined sheet pan and spread it evenly with a spatula. Put this in the freezer for about ten minutes (lay it straight across; no tilting!) then let it fully set up (the M&Ms take a while longer than the candy melts to harden) for an hour or so. Break this up into brittle-type pieces. Yummy!!!!
as usual COOKIEMAN you gave another brilliant idea.... I have red, blue, green, brown, white, cocoa, yellow and I think thats it.... so I have almost the whole bag of each color!
I also used chocolate for writing. I will write my sayings on wax paper and then put them on my cake. You can also use them for strawberries.
Flayvur....
I don't work outside of our home. I had to quit work last year because of a back injury. I can only do so much around the house so when I'm bored I get on here!!! I also have teenagers,. they don't need a lot of attention!! So I have a lot of free time when I'm not cleaning & baking! Plus I am a beginner & I have had so many questions!! I am doing my first wedding in April & had NO IDEA how much work this would take! Thanks to everyone on here I am ready for the wedding!!!!!!!! So that's why I have so many posts!!!
OH, yes....... & I'm addicted!!!!!!!! I love all my cakecentral friends!!! Ya'll are the greatest!!!
The place I go & get my cake supplies from is called Cake Creations... well I've been calling it Cake Central!!!!! I just can't get it out of my head!!!!
If you have the cocoa flavor you can melt them and then dip oreo cookies in it, I make these all the time, they are super yummy
I use mine to make dipped Oreos and other cookies. Also pretzels. The uses for these things is endless.
