Candy Clay
Ingredients:
Instructions:
Ingredients:
- 1 bag Wilton candy melts {12 oz}
- 1/3 cup light corn syrup
Instructions:
- Melt candy wafers in the microwave, stopping every 20-30 seconds and stirring. It should take about 1 - 1 1/2 minutes total. Stop when there are a few small pieces left and stir until completely melted, that way you won't overcook it.
- Add 1/3 cup corn syrup and stir until well combined. It will look a little grainy.
- Place clay on a piece of plastic wrap, cover and let set for at least 4 hours at room temperature.
- Add color if you are using white candy melts, add a little with a toothpick, it doesn't take much
- Knead clay with your hands. You can wear plastic gloves if you want, the coloring will wash off my hands, but you may want to.
- After the clay is completely colored, wrap in plastic wrap and let set about 15-20 minutes.It was a lot easier to work with after it had firmed back up.
- Roll clay between 2 pieces of parchment paper to about 1/8 inch thick.
- Cut with cookie cutter or form with your hands
