Step 2Melting the chocolate, making your mold
The silicone will take 24 hours to dry.
The specific product I used needs post curing in the oven for 4 hours at 212 F.
After baking your mold, wash it out and it's ready to use.
There are two ways to melt chocolate
Here are the videos I followed, using only the first two links.

Basically you put a pot in boiling water and your chocolate into that pot. If you put your chocolate on a regular pan over a flame you risk burning the chocolate!
Melted chocolate on fingers isn't as bad as a melted glue stick on fingers! And you get to lick them clean.
mmmm chocolate...

You can also microwave the chocolate to melt it. If you do this, do it on a lower power setting and don't do it for more than two minutes at a time. Stir it in between sessions and the more liquid it gets the shorter time periods you should use. Also if the humidity isn't too high then you can use chocolate chips, but if the humidity is higher than chocolate chips will not melt properly. Which kind of baker's chocolate did you use; milk, semi-sweet or unsweet? The type determines the sweetness of the final product.
