How to Paint your Chocolate Creations
Very attractive multicolored chocolate pieces can be molded using clear plastic molds. Melt the colors you wish to use in at least one-pound quantities in separate double boilers, or put small amounts of different colored chocolate in small glass jars and place jars in a hot water bath. Different colors of chocolate can also be placed in the separate cavities of a cupcake pan, which is then placed in a hot water bath. In either case, be careful not to get water in the chocolate.
When chocolate melts, color it with paste food coloring to produce a darker color or a color not available in chocolate coatings. Too much color will make the chocolate thick and difficult to use, and may prevent it from setting up shiny. Use paste food colors only; if chocolate becomes thick, add a few drops of liquid vegetable oil. Use chocolate that is nearest the color you desire. If you want red, start with pink coating; if you want black, start with dark chocolate.
Once chocolate is melted, apply it with paintbrushes, which will not lose their bristles. Paint directly onto mold, using one color at a time, then chilling it for a few minutes to harden. Continue painting and cooling until all the parts of the mold you wish colored are painted. Then till mold completely with slightly cooled chocolate. Chill mold in freezer until it hardens slightly, then turn out candy.
