I tried to make it using melted chocolate and it was a disaster. So I posted on here and others told me that your supposed to use Hersheys special dark cocoa for dark chocolate fondant and regular cocoa for light chocolate fondant. I think you're supposed to add maybe an 1/8 cup or little more? Maybe someone here will know more about it. All I can warn you about is not to use melted chocolate.
Funny, I was just wondering that when I logged on tonight - here's a bump for more info. Maybe we'll both learn something
I've made it and it is soooo yummy...like one big tootsie roll! You use powder cocoa, melted chocolate will ruin the consitency. I cannot remember the amount I used, but maybe like a 1/4 - 1/2 cup. I would add it before the powdered sugar though.
I can say from personal experience (sorta had a feeling going in but ignored it LOL) That melted choco and MMF do NOT mix lol (the apple basket photo does it more justice- it wasnt a TOTAL flop I mean Ive seen (in my own kitchen) water get into melted choco and it turns to grainy crumbly mess.
I shall be experimenting with cooca powder from now on LOL
I sure would like to know how to do the chocolate too. I have a bridal shower cake to do at the end of Oct and I want to use it!!!!
btw...I also add some dark brown gel color and a touch of black to get a deeper brown color.
I just made chocolate MMF this past weekend. I melted Wilton candy melts and added it to the melted marshmallows before mixing with the sugar. It did change the consistancy a little, the end product was a little firmer.
This was my first time using MMF, and I loved it!
