For the first step - the decorating - I like to arrange small piles of each colour on a microwave safe plate, as shown.

For things like pupils eyes, scars, and blood - even a REALLY bloody bunny - you really don’t need a ton of melted candy. You’ll be applying it with a toothpick!

So, microwave your plate for 30-45 seconds at 50% power, and use toothpicks to stir each pile. Repeat, 20 seconds at a time, until it’s all melted and smooth.

Once you’ve finished the initial decorations and are ready to fill the molds, you’ll need much more candy disks to melt.

For that, I like to use a microwave safe bowl or measuring cup.

Place your chips in the vessel, microwave for 1 minute at 50% power, and stir. From there, do 30-45 seconds at a time, stirring in between, until it’s all melted and smooth.

If the candy hardens before you can use it, you can reheat it - just remember to go low and slow with it.

Use a tooth brush or small craft paint brush to paint colored details directly onto cavity of candy molds.

If doing multiple layers, remember that the first color you put down will be the outermost color visible. Ie: paint the pupil first, THEN the rest of the eye.

Once all of your detail work is finished and hardened, carefully pour your main color into the mold, filling to the edge.

Allow to harden at room temperature until completely set.

Once candy is set, gently flex the mold to release your creation.

Paint all details as noted above, on both halves of the mold.

Fill one half of the mold. Attach the second half, secure with clips/clamps/elastic bands, and flip.

Turn the mold several times, ensuring that the entire cavity is covered inside.

Allow to harden, release as described above.

Fill both halves of the mold, carefully attach.

Secure with clips (etc), chill thoroughly before releasing.
