#Cre8time Pumpkin Favors filled with Thanksgiving Treats...

Greetings Amazing – welcome to our final day of PUMPKIN WEEK! Susan here to share some DIY treats for the Thanksgiving table settings. Not only did I mold my real mini pumpkins using Amazing Mold Rubber – I made a few molds for molding chocolates and other sweet treats using Amazing Remelt, and Amazing Mold Putty. If you missed my faux iced birthday pumpkin, CLICK HERE and to jump over to view my faux gilded pumpkins HERE.

Amazing Remelt and Wilton Candy Melts both melt down in minutes in the microwave making custom sweet treats like a pro quick and easy.

First I selected a tapered glass bowl deep enough to fully cover my pumpkin, then melted down a container of Amazing Remelt using the lowest setting on my microwave in thirty second increments until it was completely liquified.

**A TIP** I poured a small amount into my bowl and let cool a bit before placing pumpkin in it. ALSO, I dipped the top of the pumpkin into the liquid remelt to coat the stem and let any air bubbles release before fully covering with Amazing Remelt.

After cooling in the refrigerator for a while {it was all day since I had to go to work}, I removed the mold from the bowl. I gently cut the mold in half using a sharp Xacto knife and released the pumpkin. Now I'm ready to make some chocolate mini pumpkins.

I melt down the Wilton Candy Melts following the directions for microwave in a pourable pyrex measuring cup. I scooped the melted chocolate in the Amazing Mold Putty mini pumpkin, on both sides of mold, filling completely. I placed the top half of the mold aligned to my marks and placed in refrigerator to chill and harden.

I repeated by filling the Amazing Remelt mold and spread chocolate to evenly coat edges and leave center open – this pumpkin I will fill with an assortment of roasted seeds/nuts and mini dark chocolate chips... a perfect edible favor for the table settings.

The chocolate hardens very quickly – then I can remove, set aside on a tray in the fridge and make another set. These are fun to make and can made well in advance of the Thanksgiving Day feast!

AMAZING Choco Coins by DeeDee Catron

HELLOOOOOOO Everyone :)

DeeDee here today to share with you a super fun use for the brand new Amazing Remelt. Tooooooooo be totally honest I wasn't that intrigued by the product at first, but after the team started using it, experimenting and posting cool bits n pieces, my interest was peaked!

With Christmas right around the corner and a 4 year old always on my heels, I've been trying to think of fun exciting ways to spice up the every day Advent Calendar. Every kiddo loves chocolate, and this mommom loves collecting weird old useless coins, so why not fill some of our days with edible delicious coins from all over the world?

Start by gathering and prepping supplies!

Boil the coins to cleanse them of all dirts, oils and

contaminants that may be on them from their years of travel.

Dry thoroughly using a paper towel or cotton towel.

Secure the now clean coins inside a container with depth and no holes.

Keep in mind this will be the shape of your mold. I found a nice shallow

butter lid that not only keeps my mold shallow, but provided lots of space

for all the different coins I thought would be fun for Gabe to see.

Get out your Amazing Remelt.

Tip : Because Amazing Remelt can be used over and over AND used for

food and non food, mark the containers for specific uses to avoid contamination.

Remove Amazing Remelt from the package and

divide into manageable and appropriate sizes for your mold.

Obtain microwave safe dish and heat Amazing Remelt until warm and liquid.

Pour over pieces!

Allow the Amazing Remelt to cure and then demold all your pieces.

Follow instructions for melting chocolate and then fill mold. I used

a paint brush to apply the chocolate in a thin layer hoping to pick up all the details.

Then I spread the chocolate across deeper, filling in all the coins.

(click photos enlarge!)

Let cool and here you have it! A ton of different little

chocolate coins ready to fill drawers in our Advent Calendar :)

Tip : Place your mold in the fridge to help the chocolate solidify.

Look at how well the Amazing Remelt picked up the embossing of each coin. So much detail, it will be so fun to share with Gabe all the different coins from all over, and then to eat them! And just think, if I had waited a little too long to mold or my Amazing Remelt hadn't been warm enough, I could have just put it back in the microwave and started over!

Thanks for joining me today -DeeDee
