No I hadn't heard of it. But if you check out the Food Network site that the show should tell you where that person was located at. By the way what show was it?
You can find more info if you look up chocolate wrapping paper or candy clay. I'm sure there's a recipe on this site somewhere.
The way you make it is to basically mix melted chocolate with corn syrup, then after sitting a while it turns into a kneadable dough that can be rolled or modeled.
It's chocolate plastic.. the lady from The Elegant Cheesecake Co calls it chocolate paper. Like the PP posted said it's a mixture of corn syrup and chocolate. I plan on trying this out with the next just for fun cake I make. It sounds like it'd taste good.
I just made some bittersweet chocolate cplastic and it tastes really good. It's still warm and I can't do anything with it, but it tastes just like chocolate. I'll have to make some white chocolate plastic too and see how it tastes.. I don't really like white chocolate, but it has to taste better thatn Wilton fondant! 
I'll let you know what I think of it whe it's all cooled..
Well I can't stop nibbling on the bittersweet chocolate plastic so if there's any left to work with I'll let you know.. LOL. It's like a squishy ball of dark chocolate bar.. toooooooo tempting.. must.. put.. in.. lock box!!!
I use the clay with my home made fondant. It tastes like a tootsie roll. It really goes on the cakes great. Just never heard of chocolate paper.
