Making Chocolate Molds?

When I melt the chocolate wafers to pour them into molds, they harden in minutes, and i can pour the chocolate. I saw a Hershey's fondue thingy that has a little candle below it, to keep the chocolate warm and liquidy. Any other suggestions?Making Chocolate Molds?
I see your problem. I use a double boiler for melting chocolate and then keeping the melted chocolate warm. If you don't already have a double boiler, you can fashion your own by putting water in a large saucepan, then put the chocolate into a heat-proof bowl which is larger than the top of the saucepan. Heat the water in the pan to boiling, and stir the chocolate in the bowl above the water till it melts. Make sure you don't get ANY water in the chocolate, though.

You can remove the pan with the bowl intact from the heat when the chocolate has melted and you'll have plenty of time to work with it because the water in the pan below will still be very hot.

That should help you.
