Little Christmas g1veaway #4 is for the chocolate lovers…
This chocolate mould was a happy find from Candyland Crafts in the US. It produces a bar of chocolate guaranteed to make small children and sentimental middle-aged women squeal. I have one of these moulds to share – brand new and unused.
Have a look at Irish Gill’s superb version in white chocolate!
Please εnter by leaving a comment below. All five g1veaways will close on Monday 13th December 2010 and you’re welcome to εnter all of them. Thanks for joining in the fun!
Fig Jam and Lime Cordial 
I would love this chocolate mold! If I don’t win it, I will likely buy one! Happy Holidays!
Oooh! Chocolate! I loved those books as a child.
On an unrelated note – my latest batch of jam, despite me adding extra pectin, extra boiling time, and it jelling on the test plate, hasn’t set. Any tips on how I can rescue it, or should I just label it as a sauce, instead?
Lillith, if it set on the plate, it might be fine. Our jams are often runny in the jar, and they harden up a little when they’re opened and go in the fridge. It might just end up a very soft set jam? Try opening a jar and putting it in the fridge overnight and see if you’re happy with the consistency, before labeling it as sauce.. ;-)
Ah now my kids would be most upset if I didn’t enter this one! You might have to give me another lesson in tempering chocolate to go with it if I win though! :)
eeeeeeeeh (sentimental middle-aged woman squealing). Not really an entry though Celia as I have no skills in the chocolate making department (only in the eating – I don’t suppose you’re giving away one of the bars? :)
Love it!!!!! Ahhhh. …..the memories of reading that book with my kids!

Celia, I am not entering for this competition … Just wanted to say that you are shortening my week :-)
When you temper and use these moulds how do you make the reverse side smooth? Or isn’t it? As I am at the very beginning of my ‘moulding with chocolate’ personal movie, I think this one is a bit out of my league. But it does look spectacular!
Jo, the back isn’t super smooth – you fill the mould with tempered chocolate and bang it on the bench to level it out and get rid of any air bubbles! :)
So fun! Love it!!! =)
This is so very cute!
I have some gold leaf that I’ve been thinking about wrapping around star cookies. But it would go so much better on a “golden ticket” chocolate bar! I love that gold is edible.
I would love to give away a real golden ticket!
Add me to this one, for sure, if I don’t win it, I’m sending away for it. (That gold leaf is “burning a hole in my pocket” as my mother used to say!)
“Oh, I’ve got a golden ticket, I’ve got a golden ticket of my own…”
Here’s the clip from the original Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory:
Awesome! Who wouldn’t want one of these moulds :) Happy Days
Ps. PICK ME PICK ME lol
I want the golden tiiickeet (that’s my singing). They’re gorgeous!
Wow! What a find – almost as good as the real thing!
Hadn’t considered myself middle aged he he but I can still remember seeing Willy Wonka at the beautiful Regent Theatre in Brisbane (sadly now being re developed) when I was about six….. and being allowed to buy a Wonka bag! Thank you for reminding me.
This is an excellent inspiration to have a go at this chocolate caper! Thanks again for the fun ;)
That is the coolest thing I’ve seen this Christmas! I could make it with the Sweet William dairy free chocolate for a real treat for us lactose intolerants. Or I could make a Hestons feasts style dinner and use a jellied stock brushed with gold leaf. Or I could make a wobbly mango pannacotta bar tinted mangoey gold. Or I could…. the options are endless! Isn’t it funny how a childhood memory can spark your imagination?
Oh wow. My hubby once mocked up a golden ticket on the computer and wrapped it in some chocolate for he kids. We LOVE willy wonker!!!!
How fun! I’m just learning about candy-making this year. This looks really easy and my nieces would go ga-ga over this!
hmm – well if ONLY I could temper chocolate! the mould is so gorgeous. . . I will have to try again. . .
this is a very sharing way to celebrate Christmas Celia!
i thank you for you inspires us wonderfully! if i were granted this awesome chocolate mould, i ‘d give away every day golden tickets to my all friends (adults and kids), i would be the happiest chocolate girl in town!
As a lucky recipient of one of these bars, I can wholeheartedly attest to how good these molds are! :D Thanks for the chocolate and dinner Celia!
very cute
How cool is this mould! I’ve been looking for a block mould, but wanted something a bit different. This appeals to those big and small.
Love your blog!
Thanks for such a great giveaway. A lovely chocolate mould.
Happy days.

Well I couldn’t possibly let this one pass me by. And if I was lucky enough to get my hands on it, it might just force me into getting this tempering sorted out!
Oh, from miss-i-dont- know-how-to-temper-chocolate!
How much fun would it be to hold a Willy Wonka and Chocolate themed party!
I have a friend who would adore that. Can you buy them in Sydney at all??
I’ve never seen them here, but you can buy them from Candyland Craft in the US – the link is in the post! Thanks for commenting! :)
What a great, fun chocolate mould!
Ooh, ooh, I love this mould! Remember little Charlie with the blond hair tucking in, foil wrapper all torn…? Ahh. And then..”Cheer up Charlie.. just be glad you’re you.
Memories. :)
Oh, how fun! (It’s still the 13th in Arizona for 6 more hours, if you are still taking admissions!!!!)
