How to Make Filled Candies

There are several different kinds of filled candies you can make: peppermint patties, peanut butter fillies, cherry cordials and more. Here we'll show you how to make molded candies using Make'n Mold® candy molds filled with surprisingly easy candy centers you can make yourself.

Hint: Do not press too much filling into the coated candy mold. Allow room for mold cavity to be filled with melted wafers.
