Indulging in a delicious piece of chocolate is one of life’s simple pleasures. But have you ever considered creating your own masterpiece using plastic chocolate? In this blog post, we’ll explore the art of making plastic chocolate and guide you through the process, step by step.

What is Plastic Chocolate?

Plastic chocolate, also known as modeling chocolate, is a versatile edible medium used for creating various decorative elements. Unlike traditional chocolate, plastic chocolate is pliable and easy to shape into intricate designs.

Getting Started: Ingredients and Tools

Before you embark on your plastic chocolate adventure, ensure you have the following ingredients:

  • Chocolate (dark or milk, whichever you prefer)
  • Corn syrup

Additionally, you will need the following tools:

  • Microwave or double boiler
  • Bowl
  • Spatula
  • Plastic wrap

Making Plastic Chocolate: Step-by-Step Guide

Now that you have gathered your ingredients and tools, let’s dive into the process of making plastic chocolate:

  1. Start by melting the chocolate. You can either use a microwave or a double boiler. If using a microwave, heat the chocolate in short intervals, stirring regularly to avoid burning.
  2. Once the chocolate is melted, let it cool for a few minutes.
  3. Add corn syrup to the melted chocolate. The amount of corn syrup depends on the desired consistency. Start with a small amount and gradually add more until you achieve a soft dough-like texture.
  4. Knead the mixture until it forms a smooth and pliable ball. If the dough is too sticky, you can dust your hands with cocoa powder or powdered sugar.
  5. Wrap the plastic chocolate in plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for at least an hour. This allows it to firm up and become more workable.
