I would love to find a reputable place to buy hard candy molds. If anyone has bought hard candy molds from an online source and are very satisfied with the molds they bought, I would greatly appreciate a link to the seller.

I specifically looking for a "Barrel" mold or a globe mold. Medium to large.

TIA!

Timothy I can take a look at Michael's craft store and will let you know if they have any thing like you're asking for. If so I'll PM you .

I think Wilton is TNT for candy-making. They also sell at Walmart.

You know, my first thought when I saw this was, "Why would he want mold on his hard candy?" Sorry, nothing useful to add, I just shouldn't be awake yet. :)

I checked at the Michael's in St. Augustine and they didn't. Perhaps the one near you does.

Thanks!

What does TNT mean and who is Wilton?

Sorry, it's late and you've lost me.

Sorry Timothy, it had to be explained to me too, very slowly. TNT =Tried and true. Wilton is a very old candy making and cake equipment company. They may have what you need, or not. I think they have a website too. Probably also on Amazon.com. Good luck!

I do not do candy or cake, but have seen Wilton stuff, as one of the People of Walmart. (which, btw, is a hilarious site, with or without shopping. Prepare the eyebleach.)

Most craft supply places stock silicon candy molds. A Packed base of cornstarch, with the desired shape pressed into it can act as a mold for certain applications, but the finished candy may not have that perfect sheen/gloss to it, unless "polished".

Thanks for clarifying. I don't text or use text abbreviations except for the most popular and then mostly not. I type pretty fast on my standard keyboard and never have to use my tiny phone keyboard for much.

I feel like half the population is forgetting how to write entire words.

They certainly don't stock them in my city. I've asked five "craft" stores and all I've gotten is "No sir, we don't".

I was hoping to find someone on this site that has some molds and could tell me the link to them.
