Hi there!

I am venturing in here with a question because I have been informed
that it is the place to go for intelligent answers about candy making.

My experience with chocolate is somewhat limited to dipping centers or
adorning pastries, and really that is all I need to do. Yes I temper
it, otherwise it would get a blush and not be pretty.

What I need are candy bars, mine have gone missing. How is quite
beyond me. I was going to make some fondant and when I went to get
them they were not there.

I have looked at a couple of dozen candy making sites, I have found
one place that has them custom made and sells them for $75 for a set
of four (http://www.sugarcraft.com/catalog/ca...dcndy.htm#tool).
Surely there are some out there somewhere other than these?
Mine were about half the size of the custom ones (10" long), and I had
a round dozen. They were very handy, especially when making things
like candy canes.

I'm going to start looking at metal supply places soon. I could get a
local guy to make some out of plain steel, but that would be a bit of
a pain maintainence-wise.
