I made this chocolate marshmallow fondant a while ago I though it stayed good forever, well I'm trying to roll it out or knead it, and its a crumbly mess. Help Please!!!

Add some shortening and knead it really well. You can also heat it in the microwave for 5 seconds and soften it a little.

Ditto on the microwave..........don't do it too long or else you'll burn your hands. icon_smile.gif

I made some over a month ago, and it's still pliable.

I put it in the microwave for 30 sec intervals ( maybe it was to long I'll try 5 sec intervals ) because it was still crummy I added some Crisco and tried kneading but still no avail.

The recipe called for 1 tsp. oil or extract I used the extract does that make a difference? I used the Choc-MMF recipe I found on this site.
