Chocolate Modeling Clay
by Rondi Hillstrom Davis
This is a fun and easy recipe to do with children. And, for anyone who
needs an excuse to eat chocolate, you will be happy to know that
chocolate is full of mood enhancers that add to a feeling of
satisfaction. So celebrate! It’s good for you.
Ingredients
6 oz. chocolate chips
5 teaspoons corn syrup
1 gallon size zip-top bag
Rolling pin, cookie cutters, plastic table knife
Directions
1. Melt the chocolate chips in the top half of a double boiler.
Stir in the corn syrup.
2. Using a wide mouth jar as a stand, place the zip-top bag inside,
making sure
the top edges of the bag drape over the outside of the jar. Pour the
melted
chocolate into the bag and seal. Let it cool.
3. Knead until the chocolate is well mixed, smooth, and clings together.
You
may want to add a few drops of water for a softer consistency.
4. Use nonstick cooking spray to grease the counter, rolling pin, cookie
cutters,
and your hands. As you begin to work the clay, the warmth from the
kneading will
make dough smooth and satiny. Cut, shape and sculpt your Valentine
creations.
5. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
