Steph: I did exactly that on these, although my technique needs practice.

Chris: I used Super Sculpey (polymer clay a la Fimo) if I remember right. I used the release agent from makeyourownmolds.com, but I suspect that pam would have worked just as well.

what kind of molding clay did you use? When you formed the mold around the objects, did you spray it with a food grade lubricant,like PAM? I would LOVE to try that with my boys. So I’m not very mobile from the waist down it would be a great project for the five of us to do!

Hey Shannon, a tip on making your own chocolate using a mold: Use a silicone brush (or any food grade compatible paintbrush really) and paint a thin layer or two over the mold first and allow to set before doing the final pour. A little more work but since it’s a thing layer it will set faster (really you can just pop it in the freezer for a bit) and that should prevent visible air bubbles in the surface of detailed pieces where that matters the most.
Hope that helps, can’t wait to see what else you make!
