Chocolate mold

Analyze

This item, together with a heater will convert a chocolate food item into a customized and specially shaped treat.  A candle votive is placed inside the heater to melt the chocolate in the mold; the treat takes its shape from the mold.

 Please follow these alteration guidelines:

 1) The mold must remain metal in material
 2) The mold must remain in this format: 'a (metal) (shape) mold' with the noun as a "mold."
 3) You will also need a description of the treat without the article.
     This description can be in the form of a long or short design.

                                                 - example -
 'peg-legged cat treat' OR 'wyvern-shaped confection with wings spread in flight'

 This mold will create "confection molded into the shape of a shooting star."

 The noun for the final candy must be one of the following:
 treat, morsel, delight, indulgence, delicacy, tidbit, confection

 VERBS:  OPEN, CLOSE, GET TREAT, PUT/DROP (mold) ON HEATER


Try as you might, you cannot get a good sense of whether or not the mold's pockets could get any deeper, but you can tell that the mold is as light as it can get.
