Hey guys. so i made my first thign of modeling choclate last night and i left it in the fridge its stilll there becasue the recipie i got said it wld be ok. so is it gonna be ok or an i going to have to fix it? and if i need to fix it how? does anyone have a good easy recipe or what shld i do aftedr i make it to let it set do i just leave it at room temp?

I am confused. What is the problem with it? Is it set up? Too soft? Too hard? With more info we might be able to help.

it is really hard!

Ok. I am not sure which recipe you used, but mine is always hard when it comes out of the fridge too. Just let it come up to room temp, or pop it in the microwave for a few seconds. And i mean just a few seconds, that stuff melts FAST! The warmth of your hands with warm it up too. Once it gets a little warmer it should be fine. Kneed it a few times too and you should be ready to go. I have found it is very forgiving, even if I melt it a tad too much I can add a little more of the colder stuff and kneed it together to get a good consistancy. If it gets too soft, just put it back in the fridge for a minute. Good luck. I hope that helps.

ok thanks so much those tips are great. ill post pics and let u see how it turns out!

You're not really supposed to put modeling chocolate in the refrigerator. You CAN (if you are in a real hurry for it to set up) but it's better off staying sealed in a container at a cool room temperature out of sunlight. The fridge is just too cold for MC and you will not be able to work it until it's warmer.

You don't need to refrigerate it at all. It will soften up if you knead it, but it's going to be hard to get it started if it's cold from the fridge!

You don't ever need to refrigerate modeling chocolate. Once it cools off, treat it just like fondant.

Thank you WickedGoodies
