I was worried about the condition the candies would come in, since they are very fragile. Candy Crate did an excellent job making sure they were protected from rough travel. Thanks!

It arrived as a gift to a friend earlier than I thought which was GREAT, especially since it went to Hawaii. My brother-in-law loved it - not only the novelty of it, but the candy was really good too.

Great product! My dad loved his gift of retro candy! Will definitely buy from them again!
Excellent... I pleased with how quickly my order was shipped & how cheap your products were compaired to other websites. Thank You for everything.
Dear Candy Crate, I recently ordered from you and just wanted you to know how delighted I was not only with the candy and it's freshness but also the SHIPPING! I am in Texas and it is hot here. I did order the 2 day faster shipping with the ice pack - and the candy arrived in tip-top shape - fresh and crisp in each box upon arrival. The candy was a BIG hit - something the recipient had not seen since childhood - she was delighted !!!!

Basic Candy Making Instructions & Chocolate Mold CareThis guide illustrates chocolate molding using Wilton's clear plastic candy molds. You can only use these chocolate molds for molding lower temperature materials of about 150 F. When using candy molds, the term “Chocolate” refers to a chocolate wafer or round also known as confectioners coating or Candy Melts. We are not using real chocolate. Real chocolate requires a difficult and time consuming practice called “tempering”. Chocolate wafers such as Wilton’s Candy Melts provide a great taste while being easier to work with. Heat water to a boil in a double boiler. Remove from the heat and place the top portion of the boiler with the Candy Melts on it. Stir frequently until the chocolate wafers are completely melted. Re-heat as needed to keep the chocolate in a pour-able state. You can also melt the chocolate rounds in the microwave but be careful not to over heat. Use a glass container and heat on medium setting for approximately ˝ minute. Remove container and stir. Repeat this process until the candy is completely melted. This may take a few minutes. If you want to add color, use a powdered or oil based food coloring. Do not use a water based coloring. Add a little at a time until the desired color is achieved. If you want to add detailed coloring, it is best when painted in the mold. The chocolate is melted then applied with a nylon paint brush or toothpick. Due to the difficulty of getting quality detailed photographs of clear molds, our images of chocolate molds show the finished product made with that mold.
