TO MELT: Use micowave for smaller amts. 2 mins. on High for 1 lb. Mix
after 1 min. Stirring brings down the temperature, which you want to do if
you see bubbles.
AIR BUBBLES: When you see air bubbles after you pour chocolate into molds,
drop the mold down onto the table. Don't be afraid!! If bubbles persist,
take toothpick and burst them. TO UNMOLD: Turn mold over and candy should
fall out of mold onto clean towel.
SUCKERS: If you have a sucker mold, make sure you buy proper sized sucker
sticks. After pouring chocolate, place sucker stick into stick cavity,
making sure you have enough of it in main cavity.
Then, with your thumb, roll the sucker stick into the chocolate.
HOW TO RUIN CHOCOLATE: Get water in it or burn it!!
Sometimes chocolate gets hard, especially white coatings and colored
coatings. At candy store make sure you get Paramont Crystals, which is an
edible wax substance. Add sm. bit at a time until usable.
When melting 5 lbs. or more of chocolate at one time--when you really get
into this, use a slow cooker that you can control the temperature!!!
