Ingredients
  • 1 - 12 ounce bag Wilton Candy Melts*
  • ¼ cup corn syrup plus more if needed
  • *If using a 10 ounce bag of candy melts start with 3 ½ tablespoons of corn syrup.
Instructions
  1. Pour the candy melts into a microwave safe bowl.
  2. Heat on high power for three 30 second increments, stirring after each.
  3. Allow the candy melts to sit for 2 minutes, then stir until melted.
  4. If not completely melted, heat on high for 15 second increments, stirring after each until melted.

  5. Now, the MOST IMPORTANT THING IS TO allow the candy coating to cool to between 91 and 92 degrees Fahrenheit, stirring frequently until cooled properly.

  6. Pour in corn syrup.
  7. Stir slowly until well incorporated.
  8. Pour mixture out onto a counter top, preferably marble or granite.
  9. Knead until glossy and smooth.
  10. Wrap the modeling chocolate in plastic wrap and place in a zip top bag or airtight container.
  11. Allow to dry for at least 30 minutes before using.
  12. Modeling chocolate will keep for several months, if stored properly.
