Dark Chocolate Plastique

Directions

1. 1
   Melt the chocolate in a stainless steel bowl over a pan of simmering water.
2. 2
   Once the chocolate is melted, stir in the corn syrup.
3. 3
   Remove from the heat and allow the mixture to come to room temperature, stirring occasionally.
4. 4
   The chocolate plastique should come together with the consistency of a pie dough or a slightly melted Tootsie Roll, and it will become more flexible as you work with it.
5. 5
   Roll it out on a work surface covered with parchment paper.
6. 6
   Roll it thin (about 1/4 inch) in order to cut designs with cookie cutters.
7. 7
   Store the remaining chocolate plastique covered at room temperature or in the freezer in a tightly wrapped sealable plastic freezer bag.
