Directions
-
Melt the semisweet chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water, ensuring the water does not touch the bottom of the bowl.
-
Stir the chocolate gently until it is completely smooth and fully melted.
-
Remove the bowl from the heat and immediately stir in the light corn syrup.
-
Continue stirring vigorously as the mixture will begin to stiffen and thicken almost instantly.
-
Knead the mixture briefly with a spatula or clean hands until the ingredients are fully combined and the texture is uniform.
-
Wrap the modeling chocolate tightly in plastic wrap to prevent it from drying out.
-
Let the chocolate cool to room temperature; it will feel hard initially but will soften as it warms.
-
When ready to use, knead the chocolate with your hands until pliable, then roll it out with a rolling pin or pass it through a pasta machine to desired thickness.
