FOOD Sue Ade Molding puddings or candy shells may seem tricky, but in reality, if you have the proper tools, they are really quite simple to prepare. I love all the copper and vintage molds I've collected over the years, but often, try as I might, sometimes the foods I mold in them just won't come out. Dipping the bottom of a mold into hot water to free it of its filling can be risky, too. Sometimes that maneuver works well, but if you dip too much, the food that lies at the bottom of the mold will start to liquefy, and you're back to square one. But, if you use molds that are made of plastic or silicone materials, the sticking problem will be eliminated, ensuring foolproof results.

Jiggly treats that delight the soul: Molds are not so tricky

Mango pudding can be served from a glass or molded into a frightfully good-looking Halloween dessert. Canned mango pulp is responsible for giving the mango pudding pictured here its rich color, taste and consistency. Look for mango pulp in Asian food stores, or in markets with an ethnic food section. If you don't care for spiders, garish pudding with lightly sweetened whipped cream or pecan praline topping.
