okay... I might be stupid here but how do you use these molds??? I love them and they would be great wedding favors or Christmas gifts but I am confused on how the molds are used?? Do you put a cookie in the mold and pour?? How does the patter show up in a different color??? Call me stupid here but I have to ask!!!

I'm not sure how I found this string since I was searching for cheesecake wedding cake tips, but I am SO glad I did. I have petit four molds that I love, but the Oreo's and Nutter Butter's will be a lot less work and probably more popular than my petit fours. I ordered just over $50 and got free shipping, which meant one more mold to me.

Thanks for sharing Spinningleaf.com. I never would have found it without CC.

Wow, did you see they have a NutterButter mold.
Thank you dragonflydreams for the links. I have some of the oreo molds, but I'm definately getting the NutterButter mold!

I have a cookie mold with a snowflake pattern. I started by making the snowflake in light blue chocolate (wait for it to dry) added white chocolate to cover the bottom of the mold (wait for it to dry) add the Oreo, then add more white chocolate (wait for it to dry). I got tried of that after the first half dozen cookies. I finished the batch by just dipping them in white chocolate then sprinkled edible glitter on them before they dried.

I do a lot of Oreos dipped in chocolate and also useing the molds. You will use more chocolate with the molds but you get a more professional look this way. Some of the people that did a sampling for me felt it was almost too much chocolate this way, but to each his own. I don't think threre is such a thing as too much chocolate!!!!

When I dip, I extend my chocolate by adding an equal amount of Nestle semi sweet chips to a bag of Merkens dipping wafers, plus 1/4 bar of food grade paraffin wax and 1 square (1oz.) of unsweetened baking chocolate. I like the finish that I get and also the fact that I can handle the pieces without leaving fingerprints. I haven't tried this in the molds but will this season.

I want to try these! I have never really worked with chocolate. Just made a few decorations using the melts. Used CK brand. I would like to use "real" good chocolate. Is the Ghirardelli someone mentioned the best to use? I want a chocolate that is easy to use, sets up well, tastes good. Guess I don't want much, huh? icon_rolleyes.gif Thanks, Jonna

The Ghirardelli bars that I get from Sam's are "dipping" chocolate, and not "real" chocolate, but it tastes sinfully good! It sets up well, too. Best of all is that you don't have to temper it, as it isn't real chocolate.

Fiddle--Those look beautiful. I might get some molds to make the cookies for my playgroups Holiday Cookie X-change. What kind of chocolate did you use?

I love chocolate, but I'm one of those people that found the chocolate/cookie ratio too high when I used the cookie molds.

I like to dip the double-stuff mint Oreos in Merkens milk chocolate.
