Modeling Chocolate

Step 1

Melt candy melts in a plastic or microwave-safe bowl in the microwave or stove-top sauce pan.

Step 2

Warm corn syrup and add food coloring. Remember that your final product will be lighter than the color of your corn syrup. You can also add color later if you want.

Step 3

Fold mixture together with a spatula until mixture starts to seize and resembles soft serve ice cream.

Step 4

It is important to not over-mix or your modeling chocolate will get oily.

Step 5

Wrap in plastic and let set until chocolate is firm but still pliable. Usually a couple of hours depending on how hot it is in your room.

Step 6

Unwrap chocolate and knead until smooth, smashing any hard lumps with your fingers.

Step 7

Re-wrap chocolate and place back in plastic wrap to set up until hard.
