How to Do Double Sided Candy Molds

Molds are available in large and small sizes.

Bags of candy disks in a rainbow of colors and flavors are available at your local craft store, bake shop or specialty outlet, along with an endless variety of molds. You can make candies and pops in nearly any shape or character by melting the candy, transferring it to a mold and allowing it to set in a refrigerator or freezer. One side of most candies is flat when cooled, but some molds feature a back and a front that can be attached to create three-dimensional candies. Does this Spark an idea?
