Chocolate mold reindeer, large

With this mold, you can create a magical chocolate reindeer in no time at all - ideal as a special gift, as a festive table decoration or as a lovely addition to Christmas figures such as Santa Claus and chocolate stars. The reindeer is perfect for the Advent season and will delight young and old alike. Before casting, clean the chocolate mold with lukewarm water and mild detergent, rinse thoroughly and dry completely. Then hold the mold by the edges only and polish it with non-fraying absorbent cotton to achieve a beautiful shine. Only use well-tempered couverture, as chocolate must never come into contact with water. Colored cocoa butter or tempered couverture are suitable for decorative accents; white couverture can also be colored with fat-soluble powder dyes. When applying make-up, work from the outside in and apply the colors directly to the shape using a fine brush, sponge or gloves. Allow the layers of paint to set slightly in between and turn the mold regularly to check the decoration. Then coat the entire mold evenly with couverture so that no air bubbles are trapped, clean the edges with a metal horn and stick the two halves of the mold together. Secure them with the clips provided and fill the mold completely with couverture. Gently tap to release any remaining air bubbles. Allow any excess couverture to run out, repeat the process if necessary for a thicker wall, wipe off any drips and cool the mold for 2-5 minutes. Spread some couverture on baking paper and press the slightly chilled mold into it. Then chill for another 10-15 minutes, remove the clamps, chill briefly and carefully unmold the reindeer. You can then decorate the figure as desired with fondant, sugar decorations, glitter or other chocolate details and wrap it in festive packaging.
