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 Easter Island chocolates in these molds.  They came out well, and looked very much like tiny chocolate Easter Island statues.  I used a chopstick to poke the melted chocolate deep into the nose and other 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 nine big Easter Island statues (maybe 2 1/2 inches tall and 3/4 inch wide) and seven big smileys (from these:&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Fred-and-Friends-Have-an-Ice-Day-Icetray/dp/B004RISKSK/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Fred and Friends Have an Ice Day Icetray</a>) 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.
