Ingredients
  • 16 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped or chips
  • 5 ounces light corn syrup
Directions
  1. 1
    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.
  2. 2
    Stir the chocolate gently until it is completely smooth and fully melted.
  3. 3
    Remove the bowl from the heat and immediately stir in the light corn syrup.
  4. 4
    Continue stirring vigorously as the mixture will begin to stiffen and thicken almost instantly.
  5. 5
    Knead the mixture briefly with a spatula or clean hands until the ingredients are fully combined and the texture is uniform.
  6. 6
    Wrap the modeling chocolate tightly in plastic wrap to prevent it from drying out.
  7. 7
    Let the chocolate cool to room temperature; it will feel hard initially but will soften as it warms.
  8. 8
    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.
