Hi, I'm sorry you are having problems with CMMF, OK, let's see... seems to me that you have added too much CS, cocoa tends to dry out fondant, so now what I would do is add some more crisco, have you tried that? Also, I would let it rest over night...
When I've made this, sometimes it even crumbles a little (same thing from the cocoa drying it up too much), I just microwave it and then add about 1-2 tbsp or crisco and knead knead knead while it is still worm. But DON'T add any more CS or corn starch. HTH.
