Troubleshooting
Chocolate sticks to the mould
Ensure the mould is clean and completely dry. Use a good quality chocolate and allow it to set fully before attempting to demould. For stubborn pieces, gently flex the mould or use a soft plastic tool to carefully ease the chocolate out.
Chocolate shells are thin or break easily
Apply a thicker, more even layer of melted chocolate to the mould cavities. Consider a second coating if necessary, ensuring each layer is set before applying the next. Using tempered chocolate can also improve strength.
Mould seems warped or damaged
Check if the mould has been exposed to excessive heat, such as in a dishwasher. If damaged, it may need to be replaced as this can affect the shape of the chocolate bombs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No complex setup is required. Ensure the mould is clean before first use. Melt your desired chocolate and carefully pour or brush it into the cavities, ensuring even coverage, especially around the edges. Allow the chocolate to set completely according to package directions before attempting to remove the halves.
Compatibility: This mould is designed for use with melted chocolate or candy melts. It is not intended for oven use, microwave use (for the mould itself), or for creating hardened candies directly within the cavities without chocolate.
Care: This product is hand wash only. Do not place it in a dishwasher, as high temperatures can damage the material and affect its shape. Wash gently with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth or sponge. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before storing. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbers, which can scratch the surface.
