Can crushed hard candy be melted in this?

I would think so because it's placed over boiling water so can withstand a great deal of heat, but not absolutely certain. I melted white "almond bark" and put in crushed peppermint sticks...but didn't keep it on burner to melt the peppermint sticks and still it was hot enough many of the smaller bits melted.

This item was a gift to a baker. I presented your question and she stated: I believe it would be fine, but I would not risk it when you could just buy chocolate fondant, coat the mould with powder sugar or corn starch stuff the mould with fondant and freeze 30 minutes. I would love to forward a picture for you to see.

Hi, The plastic/mold is very durable but yet I was able to twist mold so chocolate lollipops could pop out after I brought out freezer . I don't see why this shouldn't work for hard candy lollipops. ... Hope this helps

It comes in the form of a gel cap so no crushing would be involved. Simply open the cap. Whether it's as effective or not, I don't know.

I'm pretty sure no....there is rubber on bottom that could possibly melt. I would call the company.

If the clay is of the same consistency as candy melts, it may work. However , although candy melts firm solid, they are not rock hard as clay may become,

Id say NO, but I haven't tried to melt it that way. I think it needs a slow melt down. But contact the seller, he will answer all your quastions

I would think so. When I used it I made the candies using a block of chocolate bark, stuff you use for Christmas cookies. I hope this was helpful

Honestly, I would not risk it. The coating is similar to the kind on dish racks..kind of rubbery. I am afraid it would melt it.

Not sure. I used them for powdered candy. I would say no though. It leaked from them .

I have never thought about that! I imagine you could... you would have to let it melt somewhat first. The insert is basically an ice cream "maker". It could work that way, but definitely let it get pretty soft.

Yes, don't open it or refrigerate. Refrigeration will make it brittle. That happened to my Mario brothers topper. It works best on whipped icing as a fyi. I got this order filled and delivered within 4 days. You should be able to order a week before the party.

Chee mix yes - the others will get crushed . But it did work great with gild fish cracjers and mini wafers. It may work with cheezits if you get the smaller size same with pretZel minis anything bigger is difficult

I don't think hot caramel would be hot enough to melt the trays, so you should be able to make caramels in them.

Not likely. You're better off to use melted (and then cooled so it won't be too soft) yellow-colored chocolate to pipe onto the fondant.Good luck, Karla

I wouldn't. I didn't find it to be all that accurate or sturdy. If you are making candy, get a candy thermometer otherwise I recommend one of the instant insertion thermometers bakers use.

Yes. I use these regularly for hard candy. Not sure for soft. Use slowly. I added the amount I usually use from store bought brands and ended up with a very dark, almost crimson, strawberry sucker.
