A device for controlling the condensate or frost formation in chocolate shell production has a mould ( 2 ), provided with a plurality of recesses ( 3 ) for liquefied of softened chocolate ( 4 ) and a die ( 5 ) cooled by cooling means ( 7 ) and including a plurality of protrusions ( 6 ), each fit to be inserted into a respective below recess ( 3 ) to mould a chocolate shell, in cooperation there with, in a maximum approach condition (A) between the die ( 5 ) and the mould ( 2 ). The device ( 1 ) further includes: at least one supply means ( 8 ) whose outlet ( 9 ) flows directly into the environment and it is orientated in the direction of protrusions ( 6 ); dehumidification means ( 10 ) to feed the at least one supply means ( 8 ) with dehumidified air ( 50 ). The supply means ( 8 ) is fit to blow dehumidified air ( 50 ) nearly at ambient pressure, at least in mutual detachment conditions (D) of mould ( 2 ) and die ( 5 ), toward the protrusions ( 6 ) so preventing the formation thereon of water condensate or frost.
