A few words about BWB mold types:
BWB has 2 basic types of molds:
The Simple Molds and Special Triple Molds that have revolutionized the field of chocolate decoration, creating remarkable decorations and a fanatical following! Just follow @BWBEmbalagens on instagram for more!
There are sub-types that pertain to the size of the molds whereas the larger ones with outer mold dimensions 36x24cm. and the initials SP (Semi Professional) in the product name are mainly aimed at professionals who want to produce several pieces per cycle, while the smaller ones 23x18cm that are addressed to individuals.
Simple molds are much cheaper to purchase and better suited for chocolate items that are solid like decorations and certain bonbons and have a relatively simple shape, small size. Half shells can of course be made in the usual way pouring and freezing layer after layer (usually 4-5) until the desired wall thickness is achieved.
The Special Triple Molds are ideal for use with comlex shapes that would require a long time to create otherwise and would not be made effectively with a simple mold as well as for creating chocolate shells, such as the 2 half shells that constitute an Easter egg. They facilitate the whole process significantly since you only need to heat and freeze the chocolate once to create a shell as opposed to the simple mold that several times are be needed to get to the necessary chocolate thickness that is required to make a good shell, especially in larger sizes!
Special Triple Molds are making the process much faster and economical and are producing excellent polished shells with even thick walls all around thus rendering them more measurable in a production environment as well.
The Special Triple Molds consist of 3 parts, as shown in the following images and videos.
Each triple mold has the base into which you pour your warmed up chocolate up to the horizontal line, which is designed to indicate the ideal amount of chocolate needed to produce your shell in the right thickness and without it spilling out the sides of the mold, thus saving you time and trouble. Then place the silicone insert that consitutes the middle layer into the base and the chocolate. This part creates the inner shape of the shell, and in turn will be pressed with the 3rd part (the lid) which will transfer the chocolate evenly across the whole mold in the correct thickness and shape it evenly throughout the shell.
This way you will always achieve a perfect shell, shiny on the outside and with ideal thickness, easily and quickly like a pro!

The making process in Video & photos:
*HOT CHOCOLATE BOMBS: Hot chocolate bombs are hard chocolate rounds containing hot chocolate powder and marshmallows. When dropped into warm milk, the delicious chocolate melts and releases the cocoa powder inside. The marshmallows then explode to the top of your cup. With a little stir, you have a delightful cup of hot cocoa. Use melting chocolate or tempered coverture chocolate with your mold to create a hollow shell for your cocoa bomb fillings.
