Ingredients
- 8 ounces white candy melts
- 2 ounces light corn syrup
- Prepare chocolate base: Place the white candy melts into a medium microwave-safe bowl.
- Melt chocolate: Warm the candy melts in the microwave using 20-30 second bursts on high, stirring after each interval until smooth and fully melted.
- Add corn syrup: Stir in the light corn syrup. The mixture will seize slightly; continue stirring gently until just combined without overworking to avoid separation.
- Set mixture: Allow the mixture to set at room temperature until firm, or chill in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes to speed up the process.
- Knead for pliability: Once firm, knead the modeling chocolate until it becomes smooth and pliable, ready for shaping.
- Color (optional) and shape: If desired, add a drop or two of gel food coloring to portions of the modeling chocolate and knead until color is evenly distributed. Then mold and shape the chocolate like playdough to create your desired decorations.
Notes
- Do not over-stir the mixture after adding corn syrup to prevent it from becoming oily or separating.
- Use gel food coloring instead of liquid to avoid altering the consistency of the modeling chocolate.
- Keep unused modeling chocolate wrapped tightly in plastic wrap to prevent it from drying out.
- If the modeling chocolate becomes too soft, chill it again before working with it.
- This modeling chocolate is ideal for decorating cakes, cupcakes, and making edible figurines.
