White Chocolate Mold
Step 1. Take the acetate srtips and cut it and wrap into a cyclinder and tape it. You can wrap it around a bottle to make it easier if you prefer. make sure it is avout the same size as the circles on the template.
Step 2, Next add some tempered white chocolate to the middle of the plastic cylinder and spread all around as smoothly as you can. Then let it set.
Step 3. Once it is set check to see if there are any weakspots if so then add more chocolate
Step 4. To make the base of the cylinders, spread chocolate onto a sheet of baking paper. tap it on the bench to smooth it out so it is a flat surface, then once its firm but not set use a circle cutter the size of the base of your cylinder and cut out circles.
Step 5. Once the chocolate cylinders are set cut the plastic with a knife and unwrap the plastic whilst being careful not to break the cylinder.
Step 6. heat a saucepan on the stove top and press the base of the cylinder onto the hot pan to melt the edges then add it to the circle base we cut out earlier. Make sure you dont have any holes at the join if you do, you can add some more white chocolate to the inside.

Recipe Notes:
-
You can choose to make either EXO-K or EXO-M symbols or choose 6 of your favourite members.
-
To melt the choclate melt in a safe bowl over a saucepan of boiling water, I found this to be better than microwaving as the chocolate melted more evenely and microwaving made the chocolate lumpy and set to quickly
-
A torch can help you see holes and weaknessesin the sides of the chocolate cyclinder
-
I based this recipe on a white chocolate candle recipe found on How To Cook That website: https://www.howtocookthat.net/public_html/make-chocolate-candles/
