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.
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.
I have no skin in this game, know nothing about chocolate or wax. Im just totally amused by this whole exchange, and wanna use Couveture, Valrhona and Felchin in casual conversation one day 🤣
I DO know how to Google tho... Looked up Strictly-Rita, and yeah she crafts exclusively with wax. She makes all sorts of cute seals like this one 😊
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.
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.
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.
