I like the bubble holes – it’s like an action shot, Han melting OUT of carbon freeze.

Think Geek totally did not invent the Han Solo in carbonite chocolate bar as it proclaims with a little badge…

He should be quite well protected…assuming he survived the diabetes.

also, painting in the tight spots first, such as the fingers and the face, can help with the bubble issue.

Speaking of which, how about a big-ass Jabba-shaped custard, to dip the Solo cookie in?

I got this mold in a White Elephant Christmas gift exchange.

I found the ice cubes it made weren’t very Han Solo-ish. You sort of had to be told, “That’s Han in carbonite!” Ok, I see it now.

I suspected I was working in the wrong medium —- that maybe I need to try chocolate or jello or something.

Or maybe there’s some Hints From Heloise tips for Making Better Ice Cubes I’m unaware of.

You can also make gummy in it. Lots and lots of gummy, in rainbow colours, and then make the nerdiest stained glass panel ever: http://www.eat-the-evidence.com/2011/09/13/stained-glass-gummy-goodness/

tapping always works. you are correct, the bubbles are due to pouring without tapping or vibrating. will happen with any chocolate mold.

EH is right. Even something as simple as tapping it for a while can help

Vibrating the tray somehow, perhaps with a paperless sander or electric toothbrush, should help with the bubbles.
