How to Make Modeling Chocolate

  1. Combine the chocolate chips and glucose in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water (double boiler). Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
  2. Remove from heat and stir in the shortening until fully incorporated. The mixture should be glossy and smooth.
  3. Pour the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or silicone mat. Spread it out evenly to about 1/4 inch thickness.
  4. Let the chocolate cool completely at room temperature. Once cool, you can knead it like dough until it becomes smooth and pliable.
  5. Once the chocolate is pliable, you can add food coloring if desired. Knead until the color is evenly distributed.
  6. Store the modeling chocolate in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks or in the refrigerator for up to a month.
