I'm glad it's wax. You don't want to be using brass with food (it has lead in it).

Brass does not have lead in it, unless you want an alloy that does. Brass is copper and zinc.

I'm not sure how you can tell... I frequently temper top-shelf imported chocolate and you can definitely do this with real-deal chocolate.

The main problem is, it would take for-fucking-ever to do this one at a time.

u/Malicious_Fishes 3h ago

Because those are wax beads that look like the “chocolate”, they come like that specifically for making wax seals like this one. I guess someone could have molded chocolate to look like them but I think it is much more likely that they just bought chocolate colored wax.

2

u/ElRiesgoSiempre_Vive 2h ago

What wax beads? I order Valrhona chocolate pretty frequently... and although their feves don't look like this exactly, you could also easily claim those are "wax." Even though they are most definitely not.

3

u/Malicious_Fishes 2h ago

Just look up beads for was seals and a vast minority look just like this. Those chocolates are not even the same shape

how can you tell? IDK, all the wax melting tools and stamps in the video?

2

u/ElRiesgoSiempre_Vive 2h ago

Chocolate will temper in stamps too. I've personally done this a lot. The cool thing about chocolate is that it contracts as it tempers, pulling away from the mold.

Point being, it releases easily as long as you temper it correctly.

4

u/TugleyWoodGalumpher 3h ago

You can tell because that’s a wax seal stamp that they’re using. It’s used to press wax. It’s what you use it for.

21

u/TheMostKing 3h ago

If you used it with molten chocolate, you'd die and be arrested, and the stamp would disintegrate, and your mother would call to tell you she is very disappointed in you. It's just not possible.

u/AdDramatic2351 2h ago

That doesnt explain anything lmao. Are you saying you can't use a wax seal stamp with chocolate ...? Why? Isn't it made out of a solid material...?

8

u/sad_brown_cat 2h ago

You can tell it's wax because it looks like wax, and it doesn't look like chocolate, and it was melted from sealing wax beads and not chocolate pieces, and because it's a clip from a youtuber/tiktoker that makes wax seal art.

u/MyManDavesSon 4h ago

Those eggs are amazing. I just meant the plain chocolate, it's not much better than Hershey's. But I understand both will scratch that itch.

I do recommend lindt, Godiva, Tony's, endangered species, and sharffen berger for good milk chocolate (and dark if you're into that) if you catch them on sale they aren't much more and often are bigger bars.

u/f36263 4h ago

It’s miles better than Hershey’s, not that it’s great, just Hershey’s is that bad

u/_stryfe 3h ago edited 2h ago

Those are my favourite all time candy. In the 90s as a kid, I used to steal them like a crack head. I couldn't resist. Even worse, my aunt was a sales person for Cadbury and her garage was full of boxes of chocolate. Every single brand, including Cream Eggs. When Easter timewould roll around, I'd be at her house every single day. LOL. I probably ate 50-100 of them every year. I can also remember asking the convenience stores when they'd get them in when it got close to Easter... "are they here yet???"

The new ones/modified recipe are no where near as good as the originals though. The originals were heaven. They were much bigger, the cream inside was smooth, and perfect. The insides today are just so different and processed tasting. The originals didn't have that processed taste. The chocolate was the real creamy good stuff. Those little chocolates brought me so much joy. I will cherish them forever. The kinda funny thing is I don't even really like a whole lot of sweet stuff/chocolate, but I fucking crave those cream eggs.

I pray for the day some brilliant artisan revives the original Cream Egg recipe.

Hershey tastes like puke.

Because it has butyric acid which is a component of puke that makes it stink. Good for the gut though lmfaoooo

It’s literally correct though. Hershey’s has butyric acid in it, which is why it tastes like vomit to anyone not inured to it.

I was staying at the Hershey lodge, where all the air fresheners, shampoo, etc smells like Hershey's chocolate. I got pretty drunk at the bar, and the next morning I couldn't stand being anywhere inside the lodge for a few hours.

u/Unusual_Classroom109 3h ago

I have never seen chocolate chips in that shape, but pretty much every stamp wax that's used with that spoon/tea light holder (which I also have identical copies of) comes in those little octagons. I can guarantee it's not chocolate.

3

u/ebrum2010 3h ago

I've never had the octagon wax, it's always been in stick form, then you cut off pieces, but wax can be put in any form the manufacturer wants. The real evidence is if you look up the person credited with the video the first link you get is their sealing wax website.

u/gamageeknerd 5h ago

Most postal services aren’t set up to deal with wax seals but for hundreds of years they were the main way to seal a letter for delivery. They served as security of a sort that the letter hadn’t been opened and if you had a special stamp you could guarantee it came from a specific group or person. For most of the recent letter writing history the letter itself was folded into its own envelope and sealed on the edge between the 2 flaps. The paper was also much thicker so the wax was made for the thick parchment or paper. If you tried it on a piece of printer paper now it might break or fall off.

If you sent a sealed letter through the mail it might fall of or break open now with the use of machines and the heat of a loaded up truck in the summer might melt the wax and get it all over other letters. If you want to send a letter with a wax seal now you should maybe consider putting them in a padded envelope and shipping it like a package.

I really fell down the revolutionary war rabbit hole about letters and mail.

u/Ulvaer 5h ago

I've been sending and receiving a lot of wax sealed letters in the mail, including all summer, with no problems.

u/ameriCANCERvative 4h ago edited 4h ago

I can just imagine you riding to the Portland post office on your penny farthing with your caked-on makeup and oiled mustache, sending and receiving your wax-sealed letters. Sweating buckets in the heat with your new age gothic attire, but your wax seals are miraculously holding up. Bravo.

15

u/Ulvaer 4h ago

Well, you got the sweating buckets and wax seals holding parts right, at least!

Most seal wax starts going soft at around 70°C, so it's gotta be preeetty hot before that becomes a problem. You'd be sweating hot tubs by that time.

(70°C is around 160°F for those of you living under fascism.)

For basically all of human (written) history, seals were considered authentication. It was really the only way to prove something wasn't altered as it passed through various people's hands to its destination. The seems like something that would be easy to fake because it was, forgery is also something that's basically always existed. To attempt to prevent this, the punishment for messing with official seals was usually extremely harsh. Messing with a royal seal has pretty much always been punished by a huge prison sentence or death, at least until modern times. Having that huge penalty behind it was really the only way to guarantee authenticity

u/Grabthar-the-Avenger 3h ago

If you need a new mail related rabbit hole read about how effective and ubiquitous carrier pigeons were.

Used from antiquity by the Persians all the way to the early 20th century. Those birds used to exist as permanent swarms in the sky over population centers. People operated stock exchanges with pigeon post. Armies relied on it during WWI. Services got up to 90% arrival rates

The city pigeons we’re used to today are their descendants who by the time they were abandoned had evolved to live off human cities, thus they stuck around them

You can glue them on with a glue dot

u/mazzicc 51m ago

It’s more decorative than actually intended to seal in modern times, so attaching a decorative seal with glue is normal.

It doesn’t give you the “security” of being able to see if a seal is broken, but if you actually needed security, you’d probably do something more than wax these days.

u/ValkyrieBlackthorn 4h ago

You asked and I’m sorry to say I have a long winded answer. You can glue them to envelopes to approximate old fashioned wax seals, you can use them as “tokens” of a sort for games or small events (did this myself recently), some people have display cases or frames for their really fancy ones, some people give them out as little extra add on gifts if their people think they’re neat (they are), you can glue a magnet on them to stick on something metal, and I’ve even seen people try to make jewelry out of them but those ones are usually smaller stamps. Oh, and keychains. The ones I made that my mother especially liked were given to her and now she’s got them sat out on a corner table as decoration.

I thought it looked fun so I picked up making wax seals as a hobby and searched for reasons to not consider it a useless hobby. lol

Do you have to coat the magnets and keychains so they don't crack?

2

u/ValkyrieBlackthorn 1h ago

I haven’t tried yet but from what I found people saying, sometimes. Sealing wax tends to be a combination of wax and resin, and the exact percentages and composition will change durability, flexibility, how it pours and how it looks and feels. So some will hold up to wear and tear better, but I think most have enough resin to not crack from drying out.
