To Make Modeling Chocolate:
-
13
Warm corn syrup separately in the microwave. Melt the white chocolate candy melts (I advise using a double boiler). Once in a liquid state remove from heat and mix in warm corn syrup, mixing just until a soft-serve texture forms. Wrap tightly in a plastic wrap and allow to set for 6-8 hours. When ready to use break off a selected piece and manipulate it in your hands until it is soft and flexible again. If it's too soft, you can always fold in a little bit of powdered sugar to help it set up a bit more. Once you have a flexible dough you can roll it out to make the white chocolate pumpkins shown in the images.
