Bidding at $34 With $53 for shipping from outside US. Members here have much more economical molds unless you need the bark effect.

That's right on Will Y...local thrift shop goods go for about $5. The rest of the money can go for lots of chocolate.

Unless you just have to have something that nobody in the neighborhood has--maybe. Not practical but different.

That's more like it. May have to look for some. How much does your ingots weigh? james

The Belgian chocolate mold shown by the OP will of course work well. It is similar to the old cast iron bread stick molds (short version) made by Griswold and Wagner back in the day. Those like the one shown are kind of pricey for use as an ingot mold especially when you consider that a number of options are around and easily obtainable for a lot less $$$. Aside from the standard offerings made by RCBS, Lyman and Lee, there are the condiment cups sold by Walmart, cheap cast iron corncob and muffin tins that are found at yard sales etc. for a few bucks and the possibility of having one made by welding up some angle iron. $34 plus shipping is way over the line and one can do a lot better in the value department.

Cost aside, that WOULD be a cool mold!!

I'd rather have the chocolate logs...:roll:

The material is listed as metal, it would be a mistake to assume it is case iron.

I use the cast iron corn muffin pans with shapes like ears of corn only because my wife had two of them that she never used.

Me too:-o

That doesn't look like cast iron. And it's not one solid piece. It's just begging to fall apart. Even if it was affordable I would not buy it.

Yummm! Chocolate! Yes please...

Methinks some are taking the OP a little too seriously ;).

I use a muffin pan that makes fish shaped ingots right around 1.8 lbs. We have had this cast iron pan as long I can remember. I firmly believe that the best ingot mold is the one that you can get the cheapest.

I agree with this 100%. I have several muffin pans bought for less than $2.00/each. They have lasted over ten years.

Shepherd of the Hills Cutlery had the corn bread ear of corn models for $13 plus tax.

[websterz]

I picked up a cast iron ear of corn mold at the flea market last week for $3.00. I didn't really NEED another mold but the price was right.
