Modelling chocolate help!?

Ive just made a batch of modelling choc, left it overnight and when ive chopped a piece off to work with today its very crumbly and wont stick together. I just about got it to stick together when I kneaded it, but it wont roll out without breaking up, any suggestions? Thanks xx

Yes Christine
You could try re-melting, pop into freezer for a few min to get cold. Then knead. If that doesn’t work, re- melt, and add a 1-2 tsp (15 ml -30 ml) of corn syrup. Start with 15 ml and add more if needed. Mix in well, stick modelling chocolate in the freezer for a few min to get hard. Take out and knead. Then you will know if you need to add another ml or so of corn syrup. Hope this helps….. :o)
