As for the chocolate to stay melted a bit longer and not clump up so fast it's best if you can put in in a double boiler to help keep it warm, DO NOT get any water in the chocolate or it will clump and not work. For you to be able to get clumpy melting chocolates to stay smooth mix in with Crisco Shortening and that will alleviate your problem. I make chocolates with the candy molds and got that from my mom when I first started out. It's great for those pretzel sticks too and when you "paint" the details in on them. Hope that helps. Oh and if you do a lot of different chocolate colors for things all at once get get a griddle with a good edge, turn it on low (warm), place small glass cups on it with chocolates and then slowly poor water in the griddle so that it will work as your double boiler to keep them melted longer, just remember to stir them so that they do not cook or slump and again use the shortening it help keep longer while working with it.
