Can you fill with melted chocolate to cool in?

Yes, I even filled the chocolates I made with a creamy coconut filling-similiar to a mounds

Yes, i melted chocolate chips and used this mold. The mold worked great! You can't tell in the picture, but they even have ridges... very funny! I recommend using better chocolate so they don't melt in your hand.

Yes u can. That is the kind that I use in mine. It just might take a little longer to melt but once it is melted, all is well.

Hi, Stephanie, Let me start by encouraging you to buy something else. Anything else. This is a flimsy, cheap tool that I regret having bought. I bought it to use as an accessory for fondue dinner parties. I used it just once and it is stored somewhere. But, back to your question. It did maintain the temperature for chocolates (milk and hazelnut chocs) but it took a long time to come up to temperature. If memory serves, I plugged it in about 30 minutes before the dinner and it was not quite up to temperature at desert. By time of cleanup, the temperature was OK and the remaining chocolate was just right. As a novelty, go for it. But as an ongoing usable appliance, forget it. Jay

Yes you can. It's metal so no worry about melting plastic. Can either put both sides in with them closed together or just one in and the other out to allow for faster cooling.

It gets warm, but not hot. It would keep the more liquidy form of caramel warm enough to dunk, but if your speaking in terms of caramel candy..no way. It takes over an hour to melt chocolate as it is. It also says up to 72 minutes right in the manual so they have no shame in the products inability to work right from start. It's better to use for keeping things warm (pre-melted candies).

I do think the little Anchor Hocking bowls would tolerate being used in a water bath in the oven or being set into a pan of very hot/almost boiling water on the stove (use as a mini-double-boiler), as the glass is thick, tempered glass. I would think you could put melting chocolate or chocolate chips in one of the bowls and set the bowl into a pan of hot water to get the candy to melt. I think my daughter has used them in this way when melting small quantities of coating chocolate. Sometimes she needs just a little bit of another color for contrast when decorating cake pops.

While I have not tried chocolate myself yet, from looking at the manual- and from the variety of temp controls- I am quite sure it can melt the chocolate itself. Probably in cream or something as a sort of temperature buffer.

I know that you can freeze chocolate, but I don't know how long it keeps. You might google it. We use to freeze our Easter bunnies to enjoy later. Also these have close to a year of regular shelf life and trust me they do not last that long :-)

I have never tried it, but it might work if the chocolate is suppose to be melted at a low degree. Think of the babycakes as a warmer like a fondue pot. You heat it up in the microwave and then the warmer keeps it warm.

Absolutely! I store my leftover melted chocolate in them in the fridge all the time! Extremely durable!

I guess you could use it without the heat as long as it is in a liquid form, not too thick. The heat is to prevent the chocolate from becoming hard or thick. One way to know, try it.

I don't know why anyone would want to microwave the chocolate inside the box or the wrapper. I certainly have never tried it myself. I know chocolate can be melted in a microwave, although I usually do it on the stovetop. But I wouldn't advise foil in a microwave anyway.

Hello, These will not melt too bad because they are just chocolate coated. At worst, some of the pieces may stick together. Amazon actually stops shipping chocolate items May 1st just for that reason, so there is only a couple of weeks left to order my items from the Amazon warehouse. After that, you will have to order from individuals shipping the item themselves. Thank you for your interest. Calli Books

Maybe the chocolate that your using is too dense try to make it a little more liquid

It's packed away, so I can't access it right now, but I'm thinking about 1 cup. Once you get going and the chocolate reaches optimal temperature, added chocolate melts almost immediately (as long as you don't dump in a large amount at once.)

No. I put on low after it has melted and stir the chocolate every so often.

I bought it to use for truffle fillings and then dip them after they set up in the mold, but I'm sure you could paint the chocolate on and then add the truffle filling. Hope this helped
