Beginners: Filling the Molds

Step by step on how to fill the molds:

* Fill each mold slowly with a squeeze bottle, spoon, or by pouring chocolate from a measuring cup.

* Using your palette knife or spatula, scrape off any excess chocolate into a clean bowl; it can be gently warmed and reused.

* When the back of the mold is smooth and even, gently tap the tray of chocolates on the countertop to pop any air bubbles.

* If you're making lollipops, insert the sticks, twisting gently so that they're completely coated with chocolate.

* To make the chocolate harden quickly, put it in the freezer for a few minutes.

* Once the chocolate is firm enough come out of the mold, invert the entire mold onto a clean towel and twist very gently to release the chocolates.
