EDIBLE MODELING CLAY

Steps:

• melt chocolate in a microwave safe bowl 1 minute. Stir. If not fully melted return to microwave for 30 seconds at a time, stirring after each addition. Do not get the chocolate too hot. Can use a double boiler to melt the chocolate. Just have the water only to a simmer.
• When the chocolate is fully melted. add the Karo syrup and stir to blend. The chocolate will come together and appear dry and crumbly.
• Pour the mixture on a piece of wax paper and flatten into a disk. Cover with another piece of wax paper. Then leave it alone for at least 8 hours.
• After setting for 8 hours remove the wax paper and knead the clay candy. It may get too soft to handle if you touch it too much, if so set in the refrigerator for a few minutes. Add powdered sugar or cornstarch if it gets too soft and sticky. Add only a little at a time. Have fun

EDIBLE MODELING CLAY

Steps:

• 1. Mix all ingredients except any coloring.
• 2. Determine how many different colors you want and divide the clay into small bowls; one for each color and one for white.
• 3. Mix the individual colors in each bowl to the color intensity that you want.
• 4. Dough gets stickier as you work with it, but hardens a bit when refrigerated. (See my notes above)
• 5. Use the clay to make decorations for your baked items.
• 6. (NOTE: The article I read when I found this recipe stated that the Author had made comic figures, and a playground with landscape. Please let me know how this worked if you try this before I do)
