I have made marshmallow fondant, but i am wanting chocolate to tint black, thanks![/b]

Melt 1 cup mini marsh, 1 oz chocolate and 1 tb water. Add 1 tb cocoa powder and 1 1/2- 1 3/4 cup 10x sugar. I also have been wanting to try using the chocolate or strawberry marshmallows in a fondant.

I make MMF chocolate by adding 2 oz melted chocolate to the melted marshmallows and 2 Tbsp cocoa powder to the powdered sugar then knead as usual.

I had great success making black MMF last week by adding nearly the entire container of Wilton black icing color to the melted marshmallows. I mixed the marshmallows until the whole bowl was a shiny black and poured it out onto the powdered sugar and kneaded as usual. Fabulous results. (View the wedding cake grouping in my pictures and decide for yourself.)

I like Rhonda's Chocolate MMF:

There is a recipe on cc for true black mmf. It uses melted chocolate and clear (Karo) syrup. I used it for my guitar hero cake. It tasted great and it was easy to work with.

It's simple...just replace 1/4 cup of the powdered sugar that you put in right after the marshmallows are melted with cocoa powder. Gives a wonderful chocolate taste. This is also when you add the gell color. Cat
