Thread: Silicone Ice Cube Trays

Tweet

I have acquired a few silicone ice cube trays in adorable halloween shapes. I already have an ice cube maker and really don't have much need to make cute shaped ice cubes. But I was thinking I could easily use the molds to make something like chocolates or other treats. Has anybody done this before, or know of any recipes or anything that can be made with silicone molds?

I am going to use mine for jello shots.
You can do chocolate I have seen someone do it.

I have the ones from the Dollar Tree so I had my grandma make fudge. Worked well for her and it was so good. I want to try them with Jello Shots but I'm afraid they are to small.

I tried with jello shots last year but they didn't set fully, so it was just a huge mess. I like the fudge idea tho.

I dont know anything about this. Although I have brain icecube kind. So I like floating brain in my ice tea or soda. LOL!

With jello shots you need to use less water to get them to set.
I use half water and half alchol.And use about 2oz less.

The jello shots were a disaster for me too. Not sure if it was the recipe or that I didn't pre-spray the molds. Didn't someone say something about how jello jigglers are different than jello and work better for this kind of stuff? May be something to look into.

Yeah, I may do a little research and try mine again. I'll try earlier this year, so if they mess up, I can fix the recipe. And eat the leftovers...

Last night I tested the jello shot idea a few times but using sprite. They diden't work well at all. I did the half&half and then I did another one with 75% sprite 25% water and they still sucked.

They have been sitting all day untill about 20 minutes ago when I first tasted them. They suck. I'll get fudge recipe from my grandma if anyone is interested in that. (fudge works great.)

You could use them for paper mache molds. Just pop some celluclay in it, let it dry & you've got little ghost decorations or whatever. That's why I bought some eyeball molds that were supposed to be used for chocolate, I made some celluclay eyeballs & used them in a couple of masks & skellys.
