Chocolate Clay Recipe

Directions

1. 1.

   Place the chocolate in a medium bowl and set aside. Combine the sugar, water and syrup in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat, stirring to ensure the sugar dissolves. Boil for 2 minutes.

2. 2.

   Pour the hot sugar syrup over the chocolate; allow to sit for half a minute or so, then stir to combine. Pour out onto a silicone mat or parchment-lined baking sheet.

3. 3.

   Once the mass is cool enough to handle, begin to fold the outer edges into the center; continue to knead in this manner until mostly cooled and smooth, about 10 minutes.

4. 4.

   Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and allow to set overnight at cool room temperature; or at least 3 hours in the refrigerator.

5. 5.

   Knead the mixture again until it is soft and pliable. If it is very cold, heat it in the microwave in 5-second intervals until softened enough to knead. Mold as desired.
