I have made modeling chocolate once. And I don't know if it's because of the portuguese goods (I am portuguese 
) but I found it to be a little hard. So I would't cover a cake with it....
To make figures it's good.
But if what you are worried about is about the quality, I'd say chocolate modeling is healthier...
Do you think I understood your question???
anamado, you did help... but i am still looking to an answer for my question.
i'm not looking to cover the cake in modeling chocolate, but i want to make flowers from it. i'm using the flowers on a smash cake for a 1-year-old, and we didn't want to use fondant because we were afraid of a choking hazard, because it is so chewy/sticky. i was just wondering if modeling chocolate was the same texture?
It's harder, I can't explain how much.... Not easy to chew as fondant. But fondant does melt on our moth doesn't it? At least the only one I know that is marshmallow fondant 
The other one is more like one of those sticky candies that get in your teeth and wont come of...
