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. icon_smile.gif

Funny, I was just wondering that when I logged on tonight - here's a bump for more info. Maybe we'll both learn something thumbs_up.gif

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

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!
