Welcome to How To Cook That, I'm Ann Reardon
and this week we are making chocolate tools

Now I know that here in Australia & in NZ
we don't have Fathers Day until September

but lots of other countries around the world
have it in June.

So I thought I'd get it in early for Australia
and on time for everyone else.

This week's notification squad shout-out goes
to Kaytube, for your chance at a shout-out

to turn on notifications and write "done"

in the comments so I know that you have done
so.

Now to make these crazy, realistic looking
tools you will need some tools to make the

When making a mold I like to use Lego to make
all of the walls because it is easy to make

shapes that are customized to the thing you
want to make the mold of.

You don't have to use lots of your molding
gel because you can make it as tight as possible.

If you don't have Lego you can use a plastic
container instead.

Once you've built your container take the
tool out and pour in the food-grade molding

gel and this just gets melted in the microwave
to make it liquid.

Then add your tool back in there and it will
sink to the bottom, that's what we want.

Leave that for several hours to set and then
remove the Lego from the outside and pull

the mold off, you're going to have to squeeze
and squish it until you can get it off the

The great thing about this stuff is it is
re-useable so if you want to make a mold of

something else, you just put this back in
the microwave and remelt it so it's liquid

To get the tool out you need to cut around
the outside edge just inside the shape of

And this stuff cuts really easily so you can
just cut around that.

Then loosen the mold around the edges and
pull out your tool.

Now I'm going to wash all of my molds really
well to make sure they're super clean.

And then dry it with papertowel because chocolate
doesn't like water.

Melt and then temper some chocolate, if you
don't know how to temper chocolate then please

watch Chocolate Secrets video first - and
I'll link to that below - if you don't temper

your chocolate it won't stay firm at room
temperature.

I've had a few people make things and then
in the comments they've said: "it just collapsed

That's because your chocolate wasn't tempered,
so do watch the other video first.

Put the chocolate into a piping bag and pipe
it into the mold making sure it goes way into

Then bang the tray on the bench a few times
just to get rid of any air bubbles.

We don't want air bubbles in our tools because
then they won't look real.

Once the chocolate is set loosen the edges
of the mold, flip it over and peel back the

And look at that, it picks up all those details,
even the brand names of the tools and everything.

Now some shapes are harder to get out of the
mold than others, if you've got any tiny thin

parts like this clamp does, they might snap
when you are trying to get them out.

So we can fix that just by using some extra
chocolate and putting it back into place.

Now if you want any of your tools to be more
brightly coloured you can of course use coloured

Just temper some white chocolate and use oil
based food colouring to make it the colour

Then for the top of these pliers I am going
to use milk chocolate so that we can make

Now to make these look like they are rusty
metal and not chocolate, I am using cocoa

powder and mixing in some edible bronze luster
dust.

You can get that from cake decorating shops
online.

Just brush that all over using a dry paintbrush
to make it look more matt with a few shiny

For the clamp I am going to brush some powdered
black food colouring onto the clamp part.

And then use silver luster dust onto the threaded
part.

And all of a sudden, it doesn't look like
chocolate any more.

You can use silver on the spanners to make
them look new or if you want to use the rusty

Just play around with it and try to make them
look as real as your dad's tools look.

Try and make them the same colour so when
he sees them he goes" "That's my tools!" and

doesn't think it's made out of chocolate.

Which will be be all the better for this effect
and a shout-out to all the Dads who have taught

their sons and daughters how to use tools,
I remember my Dad showing me in the shed how

to use routers so I could make all sorts of
stuff and power tools.

I really appreciate that, thanks Dad, it's
come in handy.

Definitely building the new kitchen it has!

For the pliers with the red handle I'm using
silver for the top part of it like I said,

And now on the rusty tools you can make them
look a bit older by rubbing some black powdered

food colouring along the edges, over the writing
and along the bits that stick up, then rebrush

it with the rusty coloured cocoa powder so
that we can just blend it all in so that it

looks like it's supposed to be like that,
not that we've actually rubbed it on.

Repeat that with the other tools until you
are happy with the colour and look of them.

Then pour some tempered white chocolate onto
the counter and spread it out thinly.

Once it is starting to set push a scraper
along to make curls of chocolate.

We don't want perfect curls here, we just
want rough curls so it looks like wood shavings,

Repeat that several times with several blocks
of chocolate, so that you have enough to go

Choose a basket or box to present them in
and line the base with baking paper, then

pour in some of the white chocolate wood shavings
and spread them right out to the edges.

And carefully place the chocolate tools where
you want them.

I think the wrench is definitely my favourite
one.

These are so easy to make and make a great
Fathers Day gift.
