Anyone else had a problem with Nestle Morsels? I melted them down, poured them into molds, came out beautiful, placed them on a plate and they started to melt.
any tips on how to keep that from happening? should i have added somethig to the chocolate??
I haven't had a lot of luck using chocolate chips for molding either. You might try using coating chocolate/candy melts.
whenever we made chocolate molds at school.. (sorry referring to school again) we tempered the chocolate first.... if you need directions let me know
A little parrafin wax helps too. I use parrafin whenever I dip strawberries or other fruit. Hope this helps!!

I have always use chocolate melts and never had a problem, but of cause I buy mine from a reputable cake decorating supplies store, usually they sell the chocolates by the pound. This Easter, I bought 5 lbs. white chocolate and 5 lbs. mild chocolate, and 5 lbs. dark chocolate and I used plastic molds to make Easter candies and they all turned out great. I put them in small plastic bags and gave them out and got very good reviews from customers. Hope this is helpful.
Nestle chocolate chips are real chocolate, this means they must be tempered to maintain their shape. To do so, you must keep the chocolate's temperature below 90 degrees. If you go over 90 it'll be icky white and will melt in your hand. Melt over a bowl of hot tap water (takes longer) instead of your stove (don't forget the thermometer) and you should be alright. Because tempering is a bit more labor intensive many people use coating wafers, which are made specifically for candy making. A good supplier for the melting wafers is www.cincicakeandcandy.com, plus they have more molds than anywhere else that I've seen.
