SUPPLIES NEEDED Candy Coating Fillings(see below for suggestions) Squeeze Bottle Candy Molds
Melt candy coating. Paint details with candy writer if desired. Pour into a squeeze bottle. Squeeze the candy into a clean dry mold cavity starting at the top rim, making sure the entire cavity (especially the sides) is covered with the coating. Continue filling all the molds this way. Turn the mold over and dump the excess candy onto waxed paper. Excess candy may be remelted. Invert the mold and use a spatula to scrape all excess candy off the surface of the mold until the top rim of the cavities appears neat. Let candy set up at room temperature. Put desired filling into cavity (see below for suggestions), leaving 1/8" clearance. With melted coating in squeeze bottle squeeze candy over filling starting at the outer edge of cavity to insure proper sealing. Place in freezer. When the mold is cloudy and the candy feels cold, invert the mold and the candy will drop from the mold.
Square pieces are traditionally filled with caramels.
Some molds have a nut design embossed in the mold.
