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.
