How do they do that? (the bonbon thread)

I was made aware of it by my friend after giving free not painted samples: the painted bonbons taste worse than natural ones. I tested it myself and it is true. The coating of CCB gives a waxy/ tasteless feel.

 

Colors can go rancid after a while. Even a flavorless fat will be noticeable but it shouldn't detract from the experience.  Smell your colors and use restraint?

Is this an enrobed piece that these are displayed on, or is there a magnetic mold this shape?  One or more of you experts must know.  Thanks in advance!  https://shop.chefrubber.com/item/901374S/12-Days-Of-Christmas/

Looks enrobed to me.

I agree with Kerry; the pieces are enrobed.  There are square magnetic molds, but they have sharper edges.

Thank you!  That is what I suspected, but was kind of hoping there was an easier way then having to handle each one!

@Becky R while the link you included shows enrobed chocolates, there are square magnetic chocolate molds that you can use with that transfer sheet. You might need to cut the transfer sheet to fit the mold but you should be able to use it. I'm not sure which mold will work but here is a link to a bunch of magnetic molds -- some are square. https://www.chocolat-chocolat.com/product-category/molds/magnetic-molds/

Thank you.  I grabbed a few that will hopefully work!

To kind of document what I learned from Chef Rubber after a LONG time on the phone... while this set is printed on 1.75 perforated squares, the actual image is around 1.1 inches according to the gal who I spoke with.  This is the kind of detail that would be ever so helpful to include on their site so you have a clue what molds will work!!
