Can I mix different kinds of chocolate together for molding?

scrabblenut79 asked:


I want to use chocolate molds to make some small chocolate candies in a variety of shapes for Christmas. I bought a large bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips and 2 large bars of milk chocolate to tone down the intensity of the chocolate and make it creamier. Will this work? I am concerned that the two chocolates might separate when they cool. I want a better quality chocolate than the typical easter candy kind, but I don’t want to spend the money on gourmet chocolate.

Also, how long can I store the finished candies at room temperature?
