i don't know if anyone else is into this... over the years i've gotten into making chocolate candy for various holidays/occasions using various molds. i guess consider it a "craft" because it does take a ton of patience to make the ones with all the different colors and details!

anyways if anyone here has made candy as well, please post your pics here!

i am interested in seeing everyone's delicious creations!!

i have a major sweet tooth!! :)

here are some I just made for the holidays

snowflakes

snowmen (these took so long to make, b/c of all the different colors used)

some I made for Valentine's Day, few years back

hearts, lips, teddy bears

hearts & roses

rose lollipops

lol

.. yeah i made them, but its not that hard really...you just use molds and pour the melted chocolate in...it only gets a bit hard when you try to make ones with different colors and such, then you have to "paint" each color in one by one...

runner22 · Dec 17th, 2008, 10:10 PM

sweetneet those look amazing!

I would love to learn how to make those for the holidays! Where do you get these molds?

jeh3v · Dec 17th, 2008, 10:15 PM

Yes, please do tell!!!

sweetneet · Dec 17th, 2008, 10:17 PM

thanks everyone for such sweet comments! and as for the molds, i've gotten them from various places, but mostly from Michaels or Hobby Lobby. For more specialized ones (religious holidays, etc) you can find them from online candy stores. i got lollipops molds for "baby's baptism" one from an online store.

jeh3v · Dec 17th, 2008, 10:24 PM

So do you just poor the melted chocolate in the molds and let them harden? How do you make the colors?
