Square mold for chocolate bars, 5 pieces

Design individual boards with a distinctive square structure - ideal for creative gifts and professional results at home. What is this shape suitable for? For decorative chocolate bars that you can colour, sprinkle and personalize as you wish. With this chocolate mold, you can produce several bars with a uniform look in a single operation. Before pouring, temper the couverture properly: melt, cool and reheat until the processing temperature is reached; the temperatures vary depending on the type. Use high-quality couverture chocolate and check the temperature with a chocolate thermometer. Prepare the mold carefully: clean with lukewarm water and mild detergent without lye or rinse aid, rinse thoroughly, dry very well and polish the inner surfaces with lint-free absorbent cotton or a fine cloth. Then only touch the edges and work at room temperature. For decorative effects, heat cocoa butter paint to a maximum of around 40 °C (microwave in short intervals, low power, or warm water bath). Fine speckles can be achieved by placing a little paint on a spoon and brushing over it quickly with a brush. Allow to dry for 5-10 minutes, then paint the entire surface of the mold; if necessary, apply a second coat and remove excess paint with the metal horn. Mix the tempered couverture with the sprinkles as desired, fill into a piping bag and pour into the mold. Tap lightly on the work surface to release air bubbles and create a smooth surface; additional decoration optional. Chill for 10-15 minutes, after which the bars should release themselves; if not, chill a little longer and then pack in transparent bags. How is the best possible surface quality achieved? Polished polycarbonate molds are recommended in the confectionery industry: They ensure a glossy finish and effortless unmolding thanks to their dimensional stability, while silicone tends to be avoided for bars. With chocolate bar moulds, you can create personalized bars with a professional finish in no time at all.
