Diamond Shaped Chocolate Mold

This mold arrived in a timely fashion. It had a couple small scratches on it, but not within the wells, so the chocolate was unaffected by marring. the chocolate set up well in the mold, and it flexed well when trying to turn out the truffles. My only complaint is just a little peeve- it is really hard to get out all the water that collects on the bottom of the mold (where the wells extrude), because of how close the extruded plastic is to the edge of the mold. Water gets trapped in there and if it releases into the drip tray that catches the chocolate when the shells are dripping out, that chocolate won't be useable anymore. It takes a cotton swab to fully dry it in all the little crevasses. A great product otherwise!

Makes beautiful, shiny bonbons. I have experience with making truffles, but this is my first time using a polycarbonate mold for chocolates. They came out shiny and professional looking. I wish I would have photographed the prettiest ones, but definitely worth using. I had to return the first one I ordered because it came with a crack, which grew larger when I tried to use it, but returning was quick and easy and I love my replacement mold. Large enough for a nice filling. I used this to make candy as gifts- will probably do this again for my wedding.

This is a wonderful mold. I was not able to get the chocolates out of the mold on my first try but that was because I was having trouble tempering. Before my second go around, I had an epiphany: I could leverage the ease of use and setting qualities of candy melts and the flavor of good chocolate if I just combined them together. I melt melt candy melts in the microwave then add my real chocolate and let the heat of the candy melts melt it. I use a 60/40 ratio of melts to chocolate. The result is a mixture that's easy to make, doesn't require a thermometer, sets up beautifully, and tastes indistinguishable from good chocolate! If the mixture gets to hard just microwave it a little more. So far, I've made chocolates filled with ganache and caramel. After the chocolates are hardened in the mold, I put it in the freezer for maybe 10 minutes. A quick tap on the counter and they pop right out. As per advice of many chocolatiers, I don't wash the mold. I clean it thoroughly with paper towels.

This is a great product, the chocolates come out great. DO NOT put them in the freezer, they will crack. Also the first time you put chocolate in them expect it to be a garbage batch so don’t use any fillings. Just let the chocolate set then tap out and reuse that chocolate later.

I was skeptical to buy this instead of a silicone mold and I am soooo happy I went with this. I did Christmas gifts with it for our volunteer team and had to make 420 chocolates in a few days. These molds made it so easy. I was concerned that they’d be difficult to pop out but if you throw it in the freezer for a few minutes and then smack it a few times, they pop out perfectly. I was also concerned that they would crack or not be good after the first use but after 5 uses they’re still like new.

These are VERY small. And I wouldn't necessarily recommend doing filled bon bons with it unless you are and expert working with these smaller molds. Had some difficulty removing them. Half came out with just a tap of the finger. The rest... not so much. A few of the molds ended cracking. Super easy to clean with just a paper towel.

This is great overall. Sometimes its hard to get out some of the bonbons. It can get loud banging the acrylic on a cookie tray to take out the bonbons but they come out looking very lovely.

I LOVE this mold. Chocolates come out shiny and lovely. Some molds you have to "bang" on the table after the chocolate has hardened. This is one of those molds. The chocolates are not going to fall out just by flipping over. End result are professional looking truffles!

Très solide hâte de faire des pralines

Aucun commentaire à faire, c'est un bon produit

I haven’t use the product yet but it arrived crack. I will update the review after using it. It seems that the product is very fragile and it breaks easily.
