Hi everyone,
Sorry to post all these urgent questions, but I need help!!

How do I get them to come out????
Anyone ever used them???
Any other fast/easy way to make chocolate cups (have tried the baking cups too, but can't get the paper off without breaking the chocolate cup!!

Please, help!!!!

Thanks guys!
Lv you all!

What kind of chocolate are you using? If it is regular chocolate, it must be tempered so it will set properly (it shrinks) and come out of the molds easily.

Hi JoAnnB,
It's regular milk-chocolate melted in a bouble boiler with a little bit of crisco.
How do I temper it?
Thanks

tempering requires heating the chocolate slowly to a specific temp then cooling it to another temp. There are plenty of instructins, but it is not easy.

Try adding some parafin (paramount crystals) to the chocolate, melt it very slowly and don't over heat it. Cool the chocolate for a few minutes in the fridge.

Do they have to be the size of the molds? If they can be shallow, you could use cupcake papers or other papers then peel the paper away to leave the chocolate shell.

Good luck. chocolate is a tricky business. That's why I invested the money for a tempering machine.

I would go buy chocolate candy melts....you will have an easier time.As Joann said it is very difficult to temper real chocolate.Even seasoned pastry chefs have a hard time.The candy melts will just pop out!

Is it the Light cocoa candy melts?? Do they taste like chocolate (good chocolate)??

I've got some to come out, but I think my house is too hot (almost record high yesterday) and they were softening quickly...

Thanks guys!!!

you can put them in the fridge to harden. When chocolate hardens they tend to shrink away from the sides. Now if you are using real chocolate, It's true that you have to temper it so it will harden real nice with a nice shine. If not, just always keep the chocolate in the fridge coz it will not hold its shape at room temp.
