How to get chocolate out of mold

I tried making chocolate bonbons in a polycarbonate mold (its the mold for making chocolate i am not sure if this is the correct material i am mentioning or not). The chocolate got stuck, and not even one bonbon came put. I tried melting the chocolate and scooping out the melted chocolate out of the mold one bonbon at a time, but the chocolate wasted is too much because a spatula won't fit inside each bonbon opening, and its a tedious time consuming process. I have 2 question, how to get chocolate out of the mold when the bonbon is hopelessly stuck, and how to ready the mold before pouring the chocolate so the bonbon will comeout seamlessly.

Took on an ambitious task in making three different styles of Bon Bon this Saturday. For no reason other than why not!?

As always the process had its ups and downs and I am always learning new things and constantly being humbled by chocolate.

Package suppliers

Anybody ideas for suppliers proving these kind of packages that go further then just the regular “ballotins” ? In EU ? Thx
