Edible mold release?

[aprilbeapril.livejournal.com]

I've been making jelly jigglers in jelly bean shaped molds, and have been using cheap grocery store brand cooking spray in them for the mold release like the jello site recommends. They leave the turtles just a little bit slimy though, and I can taste the cooking spray when I eat them. If I try to eat a handful of them it's downright nauseating... Is it because I'm using the cheap cooking spray brand? Would a special brand for candy making or something work better? I tried not using the spray then running hot water over the back of the mold and trying to get them loose after that, and it wasn't enough.
