chocolate for use in chocolate moulding

[rainbowcat]

I wondered what kind of chocolate I need to get to make chocolate in moulds. I'm hoping I can just melt some cadbury chocolate buttons....?? Or Do I need proper belgian chocolate couverture or something like that..??

think its just normal chocolate melted down and reset. no harm in trying i'm sure it will still be edable!!!

What does bump bump mean

By posting something you "bump" the thread to keep it in active conversations.

Use supercook cooking choc - it has miles more cocoa solids in it than Cadbury's etc and iirc it's Belgian, too, and cheap.

I always use proper chocolate, 70% cocoa solids is best, just buy own brand, it's not that pricey.

You may find cadbury's doesn't melt very well because of the high fat content (or something like that

I always have problems with melting milk chocolate.

hmm I'll try and let you know. I just bought a chocolate melting machine! So I'm excited to do some chocolate moulding...excuse for licking excessive melted chocolate off....
