Types of Candy Moulds

Hard Candy and Isomalt Moulds

Hard candy moulds are made to withstand the high temperatures required for melted sugar and isomalt work. Food grade silicone is ideal for this application, as it handles heat well, releases the finished candy cleanly without sticking, and allows for detailed shapes that would be difficult to achieve with metal or plastic moulds. Use with isomalt for transparent, jewel-like sweets, or with tinted hard candy mixture for classic boiled lolly shapes. Browse our isomalt range for everything you need to get started.

Gummy and Jelly Moulds

Silicone candy moulds are perfectly suited to gelatine and agar-based gummy sweets. Pour your set liquid into the mould, refrigerate until firm, then flex to release clean, shaped gummies. Available in bear shapes, worm shapes, fruit shapes, and a variety of novelty designs, these moulds make it easy to create homemade gummies free from artificial additives — a popular choice for parents making treats for kids.

Chocolate and Candy Melt Moulds

Many of our candy moulds are equally suitable for chocolate and candy melt work. Pour melted compound chocolate or candy melts into the cavities, refrigerate until set, then flex to release shaped confectionery pieces. These are ideal for making party favours, dessert table fillers, and sweet table additions. For a dedicated range of chocolate-specific designs, also browse our chocolate moulds collection.

Novelty and Themed Candy Moulds

Our novelty candy moulds come in a wide variety of fun shapes including bears, hearts, stars, flowers, fruits, and themed seasonal designs. These are ideal for making colourful sweet table displays, personalised party favours, and homemade gifts. Use with bright candy melts or tinted white chocolate for eye-catching results that are sure to impress at any celebration.

How to Use Silicone Candy Moulds

1. Prepare your mixture — melt your hard candy, isomalt, chocolate, or prepare your gelatine mixture according to your recipe. Allow to cool slightly if needed before pouring.
2. Pour into the mould — fill each cavity carefully, avoiding overflow. For hard candy and isomalt, a small pouring jug or squeeze bottle gives you better control.
3. Remove air bubbles — tap the mould gently on the bench to release any trapped air before the mixture begins to set.
4. Allow to set — hard candy and isomalt should set at room temperature. Gelatine gummies and chocolate pieces should be refrigerated until fully firm.
5. Release from the mould — flex the silicone gently and press from behind to release the pieces cleanly. Avoid pulling from the top, which can tear soft gummies.

Candy Moulds vs Chocolate Moulds — What Is the Difference?

The main difference is heat resistance. Candy moulds for hard candy and isomalt work need to withstand temperatures of up to 160°C or higher, whereas standard chocolate moulds only need to handle temperatures around 50°C. Both are made from food grade silicone, but always check the product listing to confirm the heat rating before using a mould with hot sugar or isomalt. Our candy moulds in this collection are selected for their heat resistance and suitability across a broad range of confectionery applications.

FAQs About Candy Moulds

Can I use candy moulds for isomalt?

Yes. Food grade silicone candy moulds are suitable for use with melted isomalt, provided they are heat resistant enough for the temperature required. Always check the product's heat rating before use. Pour isomalt carefully into each cavity and allow to set at room temperature rather than in the fridge, as refrigeration can cause condensation that clouds the surface of isomalt pieces. Browse our isomalt supplies for the full range of isomalt products available at Baking Pleasures.

Can I use candy moulds for chocolate?

Yes. Most of our silicone candy moulds are suitable for chocolate and candy melts as well. Simply melt your compound chocolate or candy melts, pour into the cavities, and refrigerate until set. For a wider range of shapes specifically designed for chocolate making, also explore our chocolate moulds collection.

Are silicone candy moulds heat resistant?

Food grade silicone is heat resistant by nature, making it suitable for use with melted sugar, isomalt, and other high-temperature confectionery applications. The exact heat rating varies by product, so check individual listings for specifications. As a general guide, food grade silicone moulds are typically rated to at least 220°C, making them suitable for most home candy and isomalt work.

Can I use candy moulds for homemade gummies?

Yes. Silicone candy moulds are one of the most popular tools for making homemade gummies at home. They release gelatine-based mixtures cleanly, are easy to clean, and produce consistent shapes every batch. Bear, worm, and fruit moulds are the most commonly used for gummies, but any silicone cavity mould with a relatively shallow depth will work well.

How do I clean silicone candy moulds after use with hard candy or isomalt?

For hard candy residue, soak the mould in warm water until the residue softens and dissolves, then wash with warm soapy water or place in the dishwasher. Avoid scrubbing with abrasive pads as this can mark the silicone surface and affect the finish of future pieces. Isomalt residue dissolves easily in warm water and is one of the simpler materials to clean from silicone moulds.

What is the difference between candy moulds and lollipop moulds?

Candy moulds are general-purpose confectionery moulds for shaped sweets, chocolates, and isomalt pieces. Lollipop moulds are a specific type of candy mould that include a channel or hole for inserting a lollipop stick before the mixture sets, creating a handle for each piece.
