Making Candy using a candy mold

Yesterday the postman bought a package with 2 silicone candy molds
that I ordered earlier this week.   Nerissa asked if I could make some chocolate Clemson Tiger paws (the school logo) out of chocolate for her to use at her wedding next April.

I couldn't wait to try them out, so I melted some semi-sweet chocolate chips and poured into the mold.  I let it cool for awhile, and then pressed the mold and they popped out - all in one piece. She is going to love these!

 She doesn't need them until next April, so I will practice making them.  You can use the molds to make ice cubes, jello, or for making all kinds of candy.

I might try making some orange fondant tiger paws and paint the foot pds with white frosting.

I am going to have fun with these soft rubber molds.
you can even put them in the oven and bake tiny cookies, or put them in the freezer.

I used baking chocolate and they're not shiny and smooth like they will be when I use chocolate wafers and melt them down.
