How to Buy and Use Chocolate Candy Molds
Chocolate candy molds can lend your homemade confections a festive, distinctive, unique and professional air, so why not try them? They're also inexpensive and easy to use, if you follow a few tips.
You may not be aware of the great variety of molds available. There are molds for:
Special events: birthday, graduation, wedding, anniversary, babies, bazaars, etc.
Holidays: New Year's, Valentine's Day, Easter, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Fourth of July, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, etc.
Themes: movies, animals, flowers and fruit, jobs (business cards!), letters and numbers, organizations, patriotism, nautical, seasonal, sports, religious, zodiac, greeting cards, international, landmarks, music, military, transportation, western, etc.
Tips for buying molds:
Look for strong plastic with deep intricate designs, you'll be surprised at the difference in results from more detailed molds. If you buy molds for hard candy, they'll be strong enough for anything. Dishwasher-proof is not necessary, you'll read why later.
Tips for using molds:
Fill each mold slowly with a squeeze bottle, spoon, or by pouring chocolate from a measuring cup. Paintbrushes can be used for candies with layers of different colors, just let each layer chill and firm before applying the next.
Use a palate knife or spatula to scrape off any excess chocolate into a clean bowl. This chocolate can be gently warmed and reused.
To remove bubbles from the molded candy, you can hold both sides of the chocolate candy mold firmly in two hands and tap it gently on your table or counter.
To remove the candy from the mold, turn it upside down over a cloth or sheet of waxed paper and either gently tap it on the table or kitchen counter, or invert the entire mold and twist it very gently to release the chocolates.
Chocolates can be quick chilled, in order to remove them quickly from the mold and make way for more candy production. To do this, place them in the freezer for 5 to 10 minutes, until there is condensation or frost evenly on the bottom of your mold. Then you can take them out of the freezer, remove them from the mold as above, and let them finish cooling at room temperature.
Tips for cleaning molds:
The molds should never be washed because it is easy to leave soap residue that affects the flavor of the chocolates. Once the remnants of chocolate in the mold have completely cooled, the chocolate will flake off by wiping with a soft, dry cotton cloth (polyester will leave tiny fibers on the plastic). A light film of cocoa butter will remain which is polished with the cotton cloth, making your next batch of chocolates even shinier than the previous batch.

Fantasy Baseball and that Sweet Electronic Candy
The 1992 Summer Olympics were the first to feature NBA players, and the squad from that year was known as the ‘Dream Team'. Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, and Larry Bird are just three of the legends that played on that historic and unbeatable team. Although Fantasy Baseball, Football, or even Basketball did not begin in 1992, these thrilling and interactive pastimes do carry on the tradition of that squad. By trying to assemble the best line-up of players from the game in any given year, and seeing how they would match up, fans can rearrange the leagues as they see fit and pretend to be owner, coach, and player all at once. Now, this may sound like a recipe for insanity, but it's actually a lot of fun - and it gives you some control over the game, even if only in your head. Fantasy Baseball is one of the more popular games for people to play, and there are even draft kits to help players navigate through the draft and auction process.
A draft kit? Is assembly required?
Ouch! Now, back in the olden days, before the Internet became the venue of choice for fantasy baseball enthusiasts, you had to keep track of your teams and players with a newspaper. Plus, you had to keep in contact with the other members of your league to keep tabs on who was winning the pool. Now, the Web keeps players from around the world connected, and brings a level of intensity to Fantasy Baseball and other such leagues that was not there before. To navigate through the maze of statistics and player data, the serious fantasy fanatic needs a Fantasy Baseball starter kit to best position himself for the upcoming season.
So..I get a Fantasy Baseball Draft Kit to use on the Internet? Do I actually get anything?
This is the Information Age, my friend, and that is precisely what you are getting with your Fantasy Baseball Draft Kit. Every kit is filled with "electronic candy" to fuel your dreams and propel your team to success. Analysts who live the dream of getting paid to study, breathe, and live baseball devote hours of hard work and energy to bring you:
- strategy to use during the draft and auction
- a list of potential "sleepers" who are just waiting to take their game to a
new level in the next season
- predictions about who is going to falter and fade in the coming year
- the best rookies to bring to your team
- cheat sheets filled with the must-know facts to be successful on draft
day.
Some Fantasy Baseball draft kit options include a mock draft for "newbies" to the game, and a host of other useful tips, to position you to bring home a championship - and hopefully some of that "play money" that everyone poured into a pool at the beginning of the season!
Hey look, if you like baseball, you are going to love Fantasy Baseball. Players and coaches change teams more often than lovers on some silly soap opera, so it is hard to be loyal to "traditional" teams. But, with Fantasy Baseball, you can build your own ‘Dream Team', and bring an exciting new element to a classic game. If you are new to the process, or just want an edge for the next season, a Fantasy Baseball draft kit is just what you need.
