Candy Clay

1 package (14 oz.) Wilton candy melts, White or chocolate
1/3 cup light corn syrup or glucose
Wilton Candy Colors or Icing Colors

Melt Candy Melts following package directions. Add corn syrup and stir to blend. Turn out mixture onto waxed paper and let set at room temperature to dry. Wrap well and store at room temperature until needed. Candy Clay handles best if hardened overnight.

To Tint: Candy Clay made with white candy melts may be tinted using Wilton Candy or Icing Color. Knead in color until well blended.

To Use: Candy Clay will be very hard at the start; knead a small portion at a time until workable. If Candy Clay gets too soft, set aside at room temperature or refrigerate briefly. Do not over work mixture as it becomes oily. When rolling out Candy Clay, sprinkle work surface with cornstarch to prevent sticking; roll to approximately 1/8 in. thickness.

To Store: Prepared Candy Clay will last for several weeks at room temperature in a well-sealed container.
