Melted chocolate likes to stick to other melted chocolate, so if your ganache is still slightly warm, the flexible chocolate should adhere to it fairly well. As with anything, run a test patch in advance. Good luck with your project!

Just follow the recipe above and use a bear mould.

I'm glad they turned out well! Sorry for the delay in responding (your comment got caught up in the spam trap until I saw it just now), but room temperature is okay if they're going to be eaten soon. Like anything, they'll stay fresher longer if refrigerated. Depending on environmental factors, they'll start to grow mould after 3-4 days at room temperature but can go 7+ days without mould in the fridge.

I often store it for a long time. I've had some in the cupboard for well over a year and while I wouldn't serve that for eating at that point, it didn't have any mould or anything. The corn syrup preserves it pretty well for a long time.

Hi Stephanie, those measurements should work for your thicker mould so the candy isn't too chewy, yes. You don't need to melt the chocolate first, as the warm evaporated milk will gently melt your chocolate for you.

Technically the weight of the chocolate should vary by type, but that wouldn't just be for white/milk/dark but also for the relative quality and cocoa butter vs palm oil amounts in each (ie candy melts have palm oil, high-end chocolate doesn't, but the candy melts are much easier to use). So I haven't bothered to do the recipe separately for chocolate types because it really will vary by the precise nature of each type anyway. If you're doing white and you want it firmer, add a bit more chocolate. White is the stickiest/softest by far.

Good luck with your gummy frogs! They sound fun!

Hi Lori, I'm not sure what you mean by finger jello? If you're trying to follow my gummy recipe, it's here: http://www.eat-the-evidence.com/gummy/basic-gummy...

Hi Karim, nothing in this recipe should come out white, other than possibly the foam that rises to the top of the gelatin and can be taken off with a spoon or baster. If you are getting opaque white otherwise, something is going very wrong or you are using different ingredients than what I've listed here.

It will definitely stain since red food colouring is known for staining. I can't see why it wouldn't stay looking like blood. You might need to make is thin enough to "splash" on the material, though.

The only cake you can use for that length of time would be a long-term shelf-stable cake like fruitcake. Or you could use styrofoam dummies or rice cereal treats. But you would just make a box shape, shape the cab, and place on the wheels.
