Chocolate Clay Used Like Fondant?
Decorating By MomLittr Updated 11 Feb 2007 , 3:10pm by DianaMarieMTV
I tried making the candy clay from candymelts last nite - guess they are made with an oil base because boy did it seep out alot! I kneaded most of it out when it cooled, but just gave up and put it in the fridge (literally dirpping oil off my hands). This morning I took it out and am letting it come to room temperature to try to work it. BTW, do not use a napkin to try to sop up the grease.....sticks to the clay, does not come off, and I ended up tossing half because it was full of paper napkin
! Now, is it better to deal with the messy oil and knead most of it out, or just put the whole thing in the fridge for a few hours to stiffen up? deb
I would just put it in the fridge. I have never used candymelts and have never have had that problem. Maybe try chocolate chips for white chocolate or for semi-sweet I used the Ghiradelli bar. I didn't get grease puddles at all. Im sorry it got all icky for you!
I got the sopping grease too, but I just let it sit on the counter for about 5-10 minutes and came back and kneaded it all in.
