This time of year there are loads of chocolate boxes circulating. One ended up on our table and was quickly emptied. When I was about to sort it into recycle bins I thought the cavities looked like a mould and figured I'd have to try. So here are wax melts in progress.
Didn't want to fill them to the top in one go in case they'd bulge so I'm taking it in three steps.
I melted the wax as usual, added the colours and scent then let it cool as much as possible but still being liquid, about 50-55C.
Works so far.  Smiley

Sorry Polly, don't know the reason for that. I've only uploaded the pic here to Fresholi so it's not on another server. Maybe Elaine will know why.

A goodly result Eva (particularly as you can use the "mould" again).
