How to Use This Calculator
- Enter the number of mold cavities and cavity volume in mL.
- Set shell thickness in mm (typical: 1.5–2.5 mm).
- The calculator shows total chocolate needed, per-shell amounts, bottom cap chocolate, waste allowance, filling space per bonbon, total filling weight, and finished bonbon weight.
- Pre-coat mold, fill cavities with tempered chocolate, invert to drain shells, then fill and cap once shells are set.
