Instructions
Step 1
Start by ensuring that your wax seal stamp is clean and ready for use. If you plan to create multiple chocolate coins, place your stamp in a freezer or use dry ice to cool it down quickly.
Step 2
Next, you'll need to temper your chocolate. Maintain the chocolate at a working temperature of 29°C (84°F) for white and caramel varieties. If the chocolate is too thick and isn't flowing well, you can melt it and add up to 10% cocoa butter based on the weight of the chocolate to achieve the right consistency.
Step 3
Once your chocolate is tempered, pour it into the wax seal stamp. Pay attention to the cooling process; if chocolate begins to stick to the stamp, it's time to cool the stamp again.
Step 4
After the chocolate coins have fully crystallized, you can add some finishing touches. Using a soft brush, apply edible dusting powders to give your coins a beautiful shimmer.

Equipment
Invest in a good-quality chocolate seal stamp to create impressive designs. You can find one for around 2,000₽. Don't forget to keep it in the freezer for optimal results!
If you're making multiple coins at once, a faster cooling method such as dry ice or a blast freezer can save you time. Regular freezers can take too long to cool the stamp.
A thermometer is essential for tempering chocolate. Make sure your chocolate is at the right temperature (around 29°C for white and caramel) to achieve the perfect consistency.

- What type of chocolate is best for making coins?
Go for high-quality chocolate that has a smooth texture. Dark, milk, or vegan chocolate are all excellent choices!
- How do I know if my chocolate is properly tempered?
Your chocolate should be shiny and snap cleanly when broken. If it feels tacky, it might need more tempering.
- Can I add flavors to my chocolate coins?
Absolutely! You can infuse your chocolate with flavors like mint, orange zest, or even spices for a unique twist.
- What do I do if my chocolate isn’t flowing properly while using the stamp?
If the chocolate is too thick, you can melt it slightly more and add a small amount of cocoa butter to thin it out.
- Can I store the chocolate coins? If so, how?
Yes! Keep them in an airtight container at room temperature away from heat and moisture for up to two weeks.
- How can I decorate my chocolate coins further?
Try using edible glitter, sprinkles, or even painting them with colored cocoa butter for a personalized touch!
