I would use a better quality chocolate and then try the pastry funnel.

@Caligurl would know better, but I believe that dipping chocolate mark recommended seizes up and doesn’t allow it to be worked with as well.

In the future you can pour in some chocolate about half the mold then sprinkle your powdered mushies onto the chocolate then pour the rest of the chocolate ontop. This way none gets left in the chocolate scraps stuck to the bowl.

Coating chocolate is different then other chocolates. Its designed to create a hard shell vs a chocolate bar. Try using real chocolate.

Im a fan of dove chocolate myself. But any will do. Dark chocolate is gonna be harder to work with because of the cacao.

I believe I used like 70% cocoa . Something like Ghirardelli. Usually the grocery store will have a section with more quality and organic chocolate. Look there.

Be sure to temper the chocolate.

It’s important to only use chocolate with 100% cocoa butter… no other data and oils. You cannot properly temper any other chocolates

Tempering is when you leave a third out & add it after you turn the heat off, right?
