How Sturdy Does Modeling Chocolate Become?
Decorating By adven68 Updated 27 Oct 2009 , 8:55am by zdebssweetsj
I am making a sculpted piece for a show and want to try modeling chocolate. (The recipe I used was 16oz semisweet chocolate & 2/3 cup corn syrup)
How hard will it dry after I have modeled it? It will be room temp. for the most part.
Is there any variation in the recipe that I can use to make it super strong? This particular piece will not be eaten.
Thanks!!!

I'm curious about this, too. So, here's a bump!
That seems like more syrup than needed. I use 1 bag of chocolate chips and 1/3 c corn syrup and it works great.
I prefer to use modeling chocolate over gumpaste. It hardens up nicely, although until it sets up, you need to be careful about heat. heat will make it softer.

thank you. I will try it with less syrup becasue it stills seems a little soft to me even after completely cooling for hours.
Will it actually harden like gumpaste?
thanks
It doesn't seam to get a brittle as gumpaste. Good luck with your show piece. When I make MC the next day it is so hard I can barely get it worked, I've found if I lay it on my stove top and cut the fan light on for a little while it will soften up easier.
