I keep mine in the refrigerator. When I need it, I take a piece out, let it get to room temperature, then knead it for use.

what ratio do you use when adding modeling chocolate to fondant? is it 50/50?

mine is tightly wrapped in saran wrap and kept in an airtight snapware container on a shelf. keeps for months.

when i add it to fondant i do closer to 30% m.c./70% fondant. makes fondant too soft for me if i add too much. does help with sculpting fondant... less cracks & elephant skin issues and more forgiving. but it takes 3x as long to dry up and is sensitive to high humidity.

depending how fast you want it to get hard ! or stay soft ! when i need to work it for a while , its 50-50 , you need to test it on the things your making , see how you like it
