Combining Fondant And Modeling Chocolate.

There are different ratios for this combo. Some use one part fondant to three parts chocolate, some use a 50/50 and some use anything inbetween. It just depends on what you want to do with it. The fondant will help the chocolate be a little more stable -- but the chocolate has a lot of oil in it by nature so it won't harden. That's primarily why people combine it, for stablity.
I always mix it for stability and ease of working with it. If I need to sculpt something however, I leave it alone! If I am making say, tree branches, I just mix it until I get it to the consistency I want to work with..no science behind it, I just do it LOL! I don't make my own fondant, so mixing the modeling chocolate with my white satin ice makes a nice "chocolate fondant"
