This recipe worked great for me...I used bakers choc chunks in a 1 lb bag...added about 1/8 more of a cup of corn syrup. The trick was to use the double boiler method, blend gently with a spatula and cover the choc with wax paper and overnite in the fridge..It was extremely pliable and when too much? refridge it. We made all kinds of chocolate animals with it.

This did not work out for me at all. I halved the recipe and don't think that would have messed it up. I would like to see the results of this for someone else. So I will keep a check on this one. Sorry.
