Could I have it as well if possible? Thanks!

Ah, thank you! That looks like a good option.

What's the best place to buy these commercial purees? I've looked at L'Epicerie, but the shipping is so exorbitant that I don't really want to buy from there. I could understand if they would charge 15.00 dollars for everything together, but every puree container purchased seems to add $15 in shipping, which I don't understand. If I wanted to buy 4 containers, the website quoted me $56 for the price for UPS Ground (the lowest shipping level).

Sounds good. Thanks for the help everyone!

Thanks! So basically, as long as the filling is thick enough it should work? Is there a certain level of thickness that is required? I thought that sometimes I've seen chocolates filled with liquors or similar things.

I am starting out with making chocolates, and I would like to try filling some with a flavor like raspberry. However, I want to get as much of the pure fruit flavor as possible, rather than just incorporating raspberry into a ganache. What I have in mind is filling the chocolates with something as close to a pure sauce of raspberries and sugar as possible. Is there a specific method that works best for using fruit as filling? I would imagine that the filling can't be too liquid in order to work well. I'm sure in the future I would also like to try other fruits besides raspberry, so it would be great to know how to best use fruits in general as filling. Thanks a lot!

Where are you located? Nebraska. I have looked at L'Epicerie, but last time I checked shipping was close to $30, which isn't really worth it for me. I have ordered passion fruit concentrate online, which works well (I've only used it for drinks so far), but I am not sure how it compares to the puree, especially for things like ganache or sorbets.

Where do you guys buy your commercial passion fruit puree from? I've looked before, and most places the shipping prices are extremely high...

Thanks to all. :-) Any other information I need to know about keeping the molds in tip-top shape?

Thanks guys! I will do that. Does the polycarbonate scratch so easily? I had heard they are very durable, but now I'm worried that I will scratch them when I use them. For example, how am I to avoid scratching the mold when scraping off excess chocolate with a hard metal scraper? I appreciate the advice.

Hello! I am starting to learn how to make molded chocolates, and I recently ordered a polycarbonate mold online. It looks great, but I noticed a few small scratches in quite a few of the cavities. I was wondering if these will have an adverse effect on my finished product or not, seeing as the scratches are quite small. I contacted the company who I ordered from, and they said they would send me a new one if necessary, but if this one is fine to use I will just keep it. I will post pictures below so that you can see what the scratches look like. They are circled in green. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!
