To use this mold, first ensure it is clean and dry. Melt your favorite chocolate according to package directions, whether it's milk, dark, or white chocolate. Carefully pour the melted chocolate into each cavity of the Thomas the Tank Engine mold, making sure to fill all the details. Gently tap the mold on your work surface to remove any air bubbles. Place the filled mold in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate is completely set and firm. Once hardened, carefully unmold the chocolate figures.
