Welcome to cake Central. I think there are some sources for commercial chocolate clay, but it is easy to make
One of the standard recipes calls for 14 ounces of chocolate or candy melts and 1/3 cup of clear corn syrup.
Gently melt the chocolate, stir till smooth. Stir in the syrup, just until blended. pour it out on a flat surface like a silpat or waxed paper. Let it sit until it is cool, for at least a couple of hours, better overnight.
then knead it until it is pliable and smooth. It the oils separate, you may have overmixed or over heated the chocolate. Some can be kneaded back in. If you remove the melted fat, the clay will be too dry.
Welcome, Lisa! You're gonna love it here!
For modeling chocolate, melt one package (14 oz.) of chocolate candy melts (Wilton or other brand), then add 1/3 cup corn syrup. Pour this on to some Saran/plastic wrap, cool a bit, wrap tightly, place in an air tight baggie and let it rest overnight. Then....have fun!!!

Hi Lisa,
Welcome to Cake Central! I've been here almost a year and I am so addicted that no intervention could help me now. This is such a fun, informative place that you'll lose hours at a time in front of your computer and be shocked at how late you'll start staying up at night.
