Now chocolate dice actually would be a good way to get more girls wargaming
That said, none I know would be too pleased about using kitchen equipment to make the moulds
Great for wargamer parties, though. Phil PS I presume she gets the chocolate in by pressing gooey warm mix into the mould halves, closing them together and letting them bond and set in the fridge
. Maybe I missed that bit. |

Yesthatphil: As stolen from the comment block in that article: "There are several ways, but the way I've found is easiest is to just put tempered chocolate in both halves to *just* over the line and then squash the mold together very firmly. Unless you're working very slowly or in a cold environment, at least one half of the chocolate will still be liquid enough to flow and stick the halves together; unless your chocolate is very warm and you're working very quickly, it will be too viscuous to pour everywhere and make a huge mess. If you take this route, a couple of warnings: you'll want to be careful when you lay the top half over the bottom to trap as few air bubbles as possible between the halves; you'll want to shake and tap the mold a bunch before you squish it all the way together to chase the small bubbles out; and you'll want to do this on a big piece of parchment paper, because there *will* be drippy (tasty) mess. Pour spouts work great for bigger pieces, but on something this small and for a material as thick as chocolate it didn't seem like a good idea." |
