{MOLDING}
1. Fill mold cavities with melted wafers and desired mix ins.
2. Lightly tap mold onto flat surface to release air bubbles. Refrigerate approximately 10-15 minutes or until mold appears frosty and pieces are firm.
3. Invert mold onto flat surface and tap gently to remove finished pieces. If pieces do not release easily, chill additional 3-5 minutes.
