soapermom Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Sorry, One side is nice and hard other side, i can slide my finger right over it and it feels like a sliky feeling. hth is the slippery side the "top".. sounds like your additives just settled and your rubbing the side that is mostly cocoa butter..

gobluesgram Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Does sound like your additives settled. Did you put it them in the freezer after mixing up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa Posted February 9, 2006 Author Share Posted February 9, 2006 Yes, i did put them in the freezer for about 10 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maryann Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 I've lately had the bottoms of my melts (which were originally the top of the melts when in the mold I was using- how's that for confusing ) end up soft and "slippery". I have set them on a cookie sheet w/ paper towels under and over them for a week, almost 2 and the whole thing is hard now. Also you can try putting them in the refrig (not freezer) to harden sometimes that's worked for me. HTH:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
