Draining chocolate molds right onto silicone mats?

Before I ruin a bunch of chocolate... is it OK to skip the parchment paper and just dump the molds right onto silicone?  Sure seems like this would be easier, yet most folks I've been studying have seemed to put the parchment ON a silicone mat to keep it in place.

If you like cleaning cocoa butter out of silicone.  If not dumping chocolate back into the bowl, just use parchment.

Funny this should come up - Trader Joe’s has nice silicone baking mats for $5 so I bought a few to see if I could reduce my parchment consumption when I make chocolates. @pastrygirlis right - you do have to wash them as the chocolate leaves a residue.
