For Valentine's Day, we used chocolate playdough to make roses for our moms.
It was really neat!
| 6 oz. | Chocolate - chocolate chips work |
| 1/8 cup | Light Corn Syrup |
| Melt chocolate at 50% power in microwave, in 30 sec. increments, until smooth. Then stir in corn syrup. Pour onto wax paper, and cool at room temperature overnight. Knead and shape. Keeps for up to 2 weeks in refrigerator. |
