I'm with you, Jeri! :) I just used Fondarific black last night and love it! I also bought their chocolate (because I'm short on time this week) to use for straps and details on a diaper bag cake. Can't wait to try it out.

I just made black mmf. It seems to be good but i got to let it rest overnight and cool off before I get too excited lol but at least I got it black with using wilton black chocolate and about 1/2 oz of black gel coloring. :) The mmf is on the left and the black satin ice is on the right in the pic! I set them side by side to compare the color :))

Can you tell me what Wilton black chocolate you mentioned here? Are these the candy melts?

try coating your hands with crisco shortning when you work with the black... it helps keep it from bubbling... I have not used duffs but that does help with satin ice. I think all the extra dye in black just makes it softer.
