It would have solved your floating problem if you had done it in 3 layers instead of 2. A base layer, a thin layer to set the candy in place, and then a final layer once the candy could no longer move. That would also allow you to make sure none of the candy touched the edges so it would all be fully encased. I noticed that mass pour was causing the candy to move around.

Don't they put a wax in Australian chocolate to prevent melting due to ambient temperatures? This is apparently why Brits hate Australian Cadburys because the texture and taste is quite different.

I think, for the legs, something simples like a three footed stool with color from one of the darker chocolates like the mint patty would really help the table stand out. If you want to be a bit cheeky make bottoms of the legs look like M&Ms or something colorful, but overall, I would want that top to stand out so a minimal approach could really be the thing.

Many years ago I went to a student graduation art show in Manchester in England and one of the exhibits was inside a specially created cold room, it was a full size dining table, six chairs, and all the plates, cutlery, even candelabra all cast from dark chocolate which had been donated by a local biscuit manufacturer. I think there was literally tons of chocolate used making it. Once the show was over the exhibits was broken up and donated to local charities and schools! What a feat! I'll never forget the overpowering chocolate smell in the room! Insane!

3 ideas for the legs both involve making legs out of resin. 1st idea take a bunch of chocolate such as "Original Sixlets Chocolate Candy Six Ball Tube Bag" I found these on Amazon. 2nd idea is to mix Hershey's chocolate powder drink mix into the resin. 3rd idea mix Hershey's chocolate syrup into the resin.

I know the top is chocolate themed, but I think legs to be made to look like twizzlers would look great to play off some of the little red chocolates in the top. It could have a top skirting to look like twizzlers and then 3 or 4 legs that look like twizzlers coming down. Depending on how tall it is made, it could have a bottom shelf with the edges to look like twizzlers as well. Just a thought. Awesome looking project as usual!!!
