I don’t typically write reviews, but I feel compelled to address how often people misunderstand a product and leave undeserved 1-star ratings.I use the rope mold for various candy-making projects, and it works perfectly if used correctly. Here’s how:1. About the Mold: These molds are soft because they’re made of professional, food-grade material. For convenience, place the mold on a cutting board so you can easily move it when it’s filled.2. Filling the Mold: Use a dropper or candy funnel to fill the cavities with your gelatin mixture.3. Setting the Candy: Freeze the filled mold for 30 minutes. Once set, carefully peel each rope out and toss them in a bowl of Nerds. Press the Nerds gently onto the ropes—they’ll stick effortlessly.4. Final Step: Lay the coated ropes on parchment paper and let them sit for 12 hours.Once they’re ready, you can enjoy or package them. With these steps, the mold works exactly as intended.
