I want to make some chocolate molds ahead of time and store them in the fridge. Will these help with the moisture ounce taken out of the fridge?

Yes, but never mix oxygen absorbers with honey. It'll work with chocolate but honey supports a bacteria that thrives in the absence of oxygen

I have not found this on my molds. They sometimes have a little whitish tint as if they have dried out. I just wash it off. I use mine for chocolates truffles.

I keep mine in the fridge too. I guess you could try freezing a few and see how they turn out. They keep well in the fridge though.

So long as they are dried out I don't see why it shouldn't. To be on the safe side, however, you might want to ask the manufacturer.

I think the manufacturer of the mold should address this. I used the WILTON Candy Melts and you don't heat that very hot. When I make hard candy, the liquid is very hot and I would be very concerned the mold would melt.

They might dry out if you do not keep them moist. If you keep them moist they should keep indefinitely. Try keeping them moist and cool, that should help keep them fresh. @ years? I doubt it. But a year? absolutely.

You could try refrigeration in a paper bag. I believe they keep longer in a paper bag as the moisture isn't locked in.

I have made chocolate shot glasses with them, using melted chocolate, so I do know that they will stand up to heat, if that was what you were wondering~ I hope that helps?

I think these would work great as chocolate molds. I use them to make little guest-sized soaps.

You can use any mold safe to use for food. You want to keep it kind of thin so it dries but experiment.

I typically use these in storage of food items so once I open the item back up I assume it is going to start absorbing ambient moisture, but haven't noticed them doing so quicker than I have used the product. You may want to check you re-opened items monthly for any sign of moisture, ie clumping to know when to toss one out and replace or add a new one. They put these things inside purses and stuff in wharehouses for years and they seem to still work, maybe check the manufacturers website, they may have statistics.

I tried keeping them in a paper bag. Generally I find that they either mold if you keep them wet or dry out if you keep them in a dry place, so I'm not sure what to suggest.

In our house they don't stay around long enough to find that out!!! But, really, it's better to keep them in a cool, dry place. I keep them on a low shelf. I have put them in the refrig but, then, they didn't melt in your mouth the way chocolate should, and were not as pleasurable. But, oh, how I love Dove dark chocolate!

I have stored them just like how they come and have had no problems. If they do dry out a bit you can rehydrate them with a little soak. I stored mine in the cupboard. Happy gardening!

Yes, you can freeze them without them spoiling. Make sure you put them in an airtight bag (Ziplock). When you take them out of the freezer, let them set for a couple hours. If you open them, it will cause condensation and will cause the chocolate to get light colored spots on it.

yes, provided you put a baking sheet under them for stability. Be aware that these are very small, as in small chocolate size. I thought they were bigger in the picture.

I just used them like the came in the package and they worked fine. However, once they had to absorb moisture, you can dry them in the oven, even if they don't seem wet.
