Oonies Moose Toys Chocolate Bar Maker

Great for kids and adults! I mean, my kids loved it and my wife and I loved the quiet when they were using it and not fighting! Okay, seriously, the kids were getting creative. They we're adding nuts, candies, caramels and anything they liked. I think Pop Rocks were involved at some point. Here's a thing: you NEED good chocolate to melt! Melting discs - they're either good or bad. To be honest, I would go for sweet chocolate chips. Semi sweet doesn't work here. Real Hershey's chocolate bars are great! This kit basically shapes candy into other forms. If not old enough, the kids will need supervision. The chocolate is HOT when it comes out of the microwave/melting pot/double boiler (I don't recommend two of those... go figure). If it gets on skin... We're talking second or third degree burns. Not fun. Buy more candy than you think. One bag of chocolate chips won't do it. Buy caramel chips too. And butterscotch! Peanut butter chips. Melting sweets. Mint chips. M&Ms, Pop Rocks, rice Krispies, nuts... You get the idea. Remember: enough hot water gets everything clean! But the silicone is pretty easy. I recommend using a ziplock bag that can be thrown away for filling molds. It's easier than cleaning the tool included. That's the only drawback. But soaking and a dishwasher works wonders! Five Stars!

This is a surprisingly nice little chocolate making set! My 9 year old has spent several hours dreaming up and creating chocolate combinations. There are several molds, two-sided patterned stamps, and even little candy wrapper bags to put your finished chocolate bars in. There is a brochure inside with suggestions for candy bars and add-ins, but you quickly find out you're not limited to those combinations and branching out on your own is fun. The chocolate squeeze bottle can get a bit messy, especially when making several chocolate bars, but since they and the molds are silicone, cleanup is pretty easy. We do wish the squeezer was a bit larger so we can make more chocolate at once, but that shouldn't stop you from ordering this set. Well worth the money!

I bought this for a xmas present for two 6 year olds. I bought 2 sets. The good: this kept them entertained for hours. The silicone molds are excellent. The inserts are super cool. The little paper with the candy bar suggestions was interesting to read. The bad: - the "melt the chocolate in the pourer" thing didn't work well. Each time, the chocolage got too hot in the middle but not melted enough on the sides, resulting in an uneven melt and problems. I had to resort to melting all chocolate and filling the kid's pourers. - The pourer's lid often popped off, blurping melted chocolate all over the kid's hands. This was because the hexagon shape meant that the corners of the pourer got cool before the center, resulting in clogs. Once the spout clogged, the pressure of trying to squeeze out chocolate caused the lid to pop off and voila, chocolate all over hands. Other than that, this was awesome, but time consuming for the parent in terms of melting and cleanup. (omg the cleanup). Now, you do need to be aware of the following things: - you have to buy chocolate. Do not buy candy melts. I tried that first to save money and candy melts just don't melt the same way. They are thicker and the clogging was a problem. - molds: you are going to need more things for them to pour chocolate into or else you are going to have kids, with candy and melted chocolate in front of them and nothing to do except eat it. And they will eat it. - you need to buy candy/fillings/ect or you are going to have kids rummaging your kitchen looking for anything to add to their bars. We learned that chocolate syrup as a filling does NOT work. I suggest you buy some nutella, some caramels, a bag of m and m's, 3 different types of chocolate chips, and call it a day. They will eat the m and m's, make a melty mess, and be super proud of their candy bars. - You are going to have hyper kids. But you knew this. You are looking at a "candy bar kit" for children.

My daughter LOVES this set. It's very easy to use. She makes us chocolate bars all the time. Please note, however, that it does NOT come with chocolate. You will need to purchase that separately. Also, you do not use a tip to squeeze the chocolate into the moulds, as pictured on front of the box. This was a little confusing to us. There is a yellow decorator tip, but it is only to be used to make fine lines of chocolate. Overall, this is a great product. Highly recommended.

Just okay is how I can best described the product. I gave these to my son and 8 of his cousins on Christmas Eve as gifts and the plus side is the packaging. All the kids got really excited about this gift and it later resulted in many facebook photos showing the bars they made. That all said there is nothing all that special about it. The squeezer would get jammed up and was hard to clean, to the point we just started using a regular bowl to melt the chocolate and the spoons to put it in to the molds. You can buy molds on eBay for pennies each so really for about $1.00 you can get plenty of molds. Even doing the eBay method can get themed ones too like for example Lego molds. So that said, the product isn't really there value wise. It is also an expensive gift because comes with no candy or chocolate so need to buy that separate. BUT.. the packaging does look nice and get kids excited, so it could be worth it for that reason.

Love the idea of this. I used to make chocolate molds all the time and thought this would be perfect for my 10 year old daughter. The major issue I had was that the molds had a very strong rubber smell which transferred over to the chocolate! Literally, we couldn't even eat them. I ended up going to our local craft store, bought a few molds, lollipop sticks and chocolate melting discs and we were much better off! No smell and beautiful chocolate candies and lollies that tasted delicious!

Huge hit with my kids! They just adore it! The molds are super cute and the candy bars look great when they are ready! The only complaint that I have is the candy melter/pourer. It is hard to properly clean and I know the tip that closes it will be lost soon. It wasn't worth knocking a star off for that, though. I can use a bowl to melt the candy and icing bags to pour. No biggie. We used Hershey chocolate bars and Wilton candy melts (fairly inexpensive and come in tons of colors) both worked very well. Couldn't imagine anything working better!

My children, girls 7 and 9 and son 10 had a great time with this candy maker. It is very easy for them to use with minimal assistance and mess. It is easy to clean up and store. And most of all they made delicious candy which they enjoyed sharing with their friends and family. No cooking was involved just the use of the microwave and refrigerator. I would recommend this to anyone and would purchase again.

Llegó bien y en tiempo, todo como se menciona y mis sobrinos fueron muy felices, en conclusión lo recomiendo ampliamente.

It was so easy to use my daughter loved it and has a smile from ear to ear.

Love this product. Great fun for the whole family. We love having competitions to see who can come up with the best choc bar combo! Easy to use. And good value. Choose a good chocolate to melt and have fun decorating your masterpieces. Good quality moulds that have been used time and time again.

Santa brought for our 6 year old. He loves it. Easy to use. Easy to clean. Good quality. My only complaint - it is impossible to get all the chocolate out of the squeeze container by squeezing it. I think more stays in then comes out. No biggie, just have to keep reheating/adding chocolate. :+)

Cute packaging, but was disappointed with the flimsy quality of the items inside - also, was very little inside the box.
