Ingredients

Yield approximately 1/2 lb. Store: Airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 6 weeks. 

 1 lb. real white chocolate* 
 *Real white chocolate (one containing cocoa butter) can be substituted by candy melts or chocolate coating (that contains no cocoa butter), which will result in a more pliable dough.

4 oz. light corn syrup 

2 oz. peanut butter 

Directions

MELT chocolate over a double boiler until completely dissolved or by heating on a microwave-safe bowl, in intervals of 15 seconds, until chocolate is completely melted. 

POUR light corn syrup over chocolate and mix with a rubber spatula until chocolate thickens and looks slightly grainy. Don't overstir. 

POUR mixture over plastic wrap and cover tightly. Let REST overnight or refrigerate for 4 hours, until modeling chocolate has hardened. 

CUT into 4 equal parts and KNEAD each part separately until it softens. Chocolate will feel quite hard; continue kneading until warmth of your hands softens chocolate. Chocolate must be pliable and hold its shape. 

KNEAD all pieces together and add peanut butter. 

KNEAD until well combined.
