John Adams Golden Coin Maker | Melt, Wrap & Stamp Your Own Golden Chocolate Coins | 12 Stamp Choices | Food Craft Treats | Age 6+ | Kids Gift Idea For Birthday & Christmas | Chocolate Not Included

Purchased for use by a 4 & 5 year old, who had lots of fun with it but this isn't a toy that the kids can just be left to get on with. It also seems to encourage making 2 coins at a time which would make this a very tedious experience & I presume this is why it has such poor reviews generally. I took the attitude of in for a penny in for a pound and purchased a refil kit along with the toy which gave me extra moulds, foil etc so could make 8 coins in 1 go. With a bit of planning the kids melted the chocolate before lunch and the coins set in the freezer whilst we ate lunch, so we didn't have to wait around. After lunch we wrapped them and embossed them. Both children thoroughly enjoyed this and were very proud of their designs. This toy takes adult input to keep them on track (and avoid everything being chocolate coated) but both kids once shown were perfectly capable of making a coin. The cutter will work with kitchen foil so when you run out of golden foil, silver coins can still be made.Fun bits: melting the chocolate, spooning it into the moulds, putting the tops on, taking them apart once set & embossing.Harder bit, cutting the foil (unless you get the right pressure it either doesn't cut or tears), keeping the foil flat and central when you start wrapping, if you get it wrong it doesn't seal properly, creases & sticks.Value for money: Wasn't bad for price but glad I purchased the refill pack so I could make 8 at a time, I would have found making a smaller number too labour intensive. I also purchased the chocolate buttons that go with this which was a mistake as they were sweet & v.expensive for what I got, i'd recommend using any supermarket ones instead.Overall: Good fun - kids loved it - works well if you like cooking, experimenting with chocolate and are willing to help the the kids with it. If you accept that you will never get a gormet tasting coin from a melted & frozen chocolate button, but you will get a personalised one ... it's a winner.

The concept of the whole toy is correct. You melt the chocolate, make the coin, cover it in foil, them press your chosen design on. My children really enjoyed making them. Let’s go through the steps because I feel it would help others brave enough to have a go at this:1. Melt the chocolate in the provided pot that you need to fill with hot water. I used really hot water even though the instructions say only hot tap water. well, I figured in tap water warmth it is never going to melt and it worked beautifully this way. My Cadbury chocolate buttons melted all just as expected, with constant stirring by my kids.2. Pour some melted chocolate in the moulds and flatten with provided tool+ cover with lid and into the freezer it goes. It worked! We made 9 coins this way, you have to make sure your mould is not over filled otherwise it ma become a problem when wrapping it up. Use freezer, not the fridge as it says, as it will not be firm enough for the next steps.3. Cut coin wrappers while waiting. Worked absolutely fine, kids enjoyed cutting the circles!4. Place your wrappers in the wrapping stamp section and place your coin(straight from freezer!) onto it. Push down and repeat on other side. It worked as long as the coin was cold enough! I would suggest only taking one coin out of freezer at once otherwise it may be difficult to work with.5. Choose your design and use the press to complete your coin. Voila! I will say that my 9 year old’s coins looked perfect compared to the ones my 6 year old made I’m not sure what they did differently but don’t be put off by some of my pictures I added.Yes it is a very fiddly process and you need to do it on a day when not only your kids are engaged but you are also well rested and patient 😁.I did it with them after a night shift and at one point I just wanted it all to go away but my kids were just too happy and keen😂. But I say they spent about a good hour and half making these and they thought it was magical! So I was happy.1 bag of Cadbury giant buttons was more than what you need for the lot. I also ordered green foil from amazon and that worked better than the one provided!Just make sure you put all coins in freezer all the time they are not being used and you will be fine!

I know - I am a man and we don't read instructions or anything like that at all. So this review is only for men like me. If you are a biologically superior being, feel free to scoff and then get back to parking badly.For £15, this is over priced tat. You don't get any chocolate with it and the melting pot thing, is poor. Basically, this is £15 for 4 moulds and some lolly wrappers. If this had been £6.99, I would give it 5 stars as it comes in a nice box and the moulds are re-usable. Shame on me for not reading the contents properly in the first place and shame on the Chinese for allowing their factories to make this crud.Having said that, my daughter loved it and so I am giving it 4 stars for her happiness, -1 star for the fact I had to go and spend more money on chocolate. Very clever packaging as well, massive box for about 150g of stuff. If you have got this far down the review without shaking your head, you are like me - so here is some advice :Do what women do and read the box carefully in the first place. That way, you won't feel like such a duffer on Easter Sunday. Next year, I am not going to undertake this complicated process again and will leave it to a more competent individual. (Who can't park).

I bought this for my 12 year old daughter, who is a devoted chocoholic. :DAt first I was worried when I discovered it's made out of regular plastic, but I must say that it seems to be very good quality. My daughter loves it. I think it's also because she's older and can fill the small container with hot water herself for the chocolate to melt. It so much less mess than when we used to melt it over the stove or in various dishes in the microwave oven. This makes it very simple and tidy.You really need to follow the instructions though and make sure you don't leave the chocolate in the fridge/freezer for too long, or you won't be able to add the lolly stick to it or print the message on it.(from personal experience)Overall, very good product, fun and easy to use (small children will need lots of supervision)and you can use any chocolate, we used Cadbury, but any good brand will do.This is advantage compare to the other chocolate makers, where mostly you can use only cheap chocolate for some reason.FOR FIRST TIME USERS I would advise to melt the chocolate properly until it's almost liquid, so you can then pour it easily in the mould and smooth it on the top, or else it looks quite messy and uneven and it would be then hard to add a message to it. (When the chocolate is too thick it's obviously very hard to spread).

So much fun with y Grandson, messy but great

My daughter is 6 (going on 8!) and loves this toy. It is one of her favourite activities and she only requires minimal assistance. I just fill the melting pot with very hot water from the tap and off she goes making her lolly, then I just have to ensure that the lolly stick is pushed down into the melted chocolate and put it in the freezer for her. We don't bother very often with the messages as our freezer seems very efficient and the chocolate hardens too much in only a few mins to push them in! She usually eats the remaining chocolate from the melting pot (we always use giant chocolate buttons so it's nice) and we clear up whilst waiting the lolly to be ready. For my daughter, it would get 5 stars.However, my son who is 11 and has ASD and struggles with fine motor skills has also had a go with it. He finds it difficult to get the chocolate out of the melting pot and into the mould neatly and easily gets frustrated and angry with the toy taking too long. I have to be around to sit and help him with mixing the chocolate and filling the mould. He has lost interest in making a lolly now and last time could not be bothered with the effort, he took a shortcut and just ate his melted chocolate instead! For him, it would be lucky to get 3 stars and so I have given it 4 overall. I would advise parents to consider their childrens' fine motor skills level before purchasing and be aware that some children will need you to sit and do this activity with them whilst others will be able to take the lead and mostly do it themselves.

son loves it but very detailed instructions..and press doesn't work that great

My 6 year old was very excited to receive this. Right away we set forth to make lollys together. However they turned out looking NOTHING like they should. Even mine. Just a chocolate mess. Used it the one time and probably never again.

Era para regalo, creo que le gustó no puedo opinar mucho de este producto

Facile da usare ben fatta

Super mój syn był zachwycony
