My kids have food allergies, so each year at Halloween I melt down some allergy-safe chocolate chips and use candy molds to make chocolates for them. I wrap my homemade chocolates in aluminum foil and trade them to my kids in exchange for their candy that they can't eat.
This year I made smiley chocolates in these molds. They came out great! The eyes and smiling mouth were very clearly visible. I used a chopstick to poke the melted chocolate deep into the grooves, to make sure it reached everywhere with no bubbles.
I'd been using plastic candy molds in past years, but I was worried about so many plastics being toxic, so this year I switched to silicone because it may be safer. The big difference that I notice between these molds and my old plastic candy molds is that these are are much bigger. I made seven big smileys (maybe 2 inches in diameter) and nine Easter Island statues (from these: Fred & Friends Stone Cold Ice Trays) with the same amount of chocolate that I'd usually use to make a zillion little chocolates. My kids seemed content to have fewer big chocolates instead of more little ones.
These trays are a little floppy, so it was trickier to get them into the fridge than the stiff plastic trays I used to use -- I put these on a cookie sheet to move them, and that worked very nicely. These were easier to unmold than chocolates in plastic trays, because the silicone is very flexible.
Now that I've done chocolates, I want to try using these to make ice!

Great for iced coffee!
I love this coffee ice tray! I never finish my pot of coffee and always hate wasting what’s left and pouring it out in the morning to make a new pot. This is the perfect solution, especially because I like to drink both hot and iced coffee. And the coffee ice cubes are so cute! You’ll need to let the tray sit for a few minutes when you pull it out of the freezer so that the cubes slip out easier. Great buy!
