    OK, I've been asked a question I don't know the answer to, so I'm hoping someone here will know!

    When making peppermint creams is it possible to shape the mixture in a silicone mould, or would it just get stuck in there?

    Also what sweets/candies other than chocolate could be made in silicon chocolate moulds?

    Many thanks.
    A waist is a terrible thing to mind.

    Don't see why not, maybe still worth dusting with icing sugar, but I just roll mine out and cut with biscuit cutters, easier than using a mould.
