Making Display Chocolates - Part 1

By Bob Sherman

Chocolate is a delightful product but some of the very things that cause us to love it so much make it a very difficult product to display for any length of time. Heat, cold, or dust will soon make your display chocolate look terrible.

This is not generally a problem for those who make chocolate at home, but a business that needs window dressing or needs to sample chocolates that can be custom ordered needs a way to display these products. Ideally these displays should be resistant to heat, cold, UV light, and be easy to clean.

The simplest method is to cut out and paint molds. The outside surface of a chocolate mold is identical to a chocolate made in that mold except larger by the thickness of the plastic. In other words so nearly identical as to be indistinguishable. Molds and acrylic hobby paint are very inexpensive and easy to use.

The only drawback to this method is it doesn't work well with some styles of chocolate such as lollys and assembly molds.
