I posted a recipe on a blog here on CWB. It is Best Ever Chocolate MMF. It truly is amazingly good, & very easy to make.
I get compliments every time I make it. If you can get your hands on marshmallows, cocoa & chocolate syrup, you can make it. Tastes like a giant tootsie roll.

Ok Ebule
If you can't get marshmallows, try making rolled buttercream. I warn you, it is sweet, but it will do the trick. I hope you have access to syrup & cocoa.
1 cup/250 ml corn syrup
1 cup/250 ml butter
1/2 tsp/5 ml salt
1 tsp/15 ml vanilla
8 cups/1 kg icing sugar .... this is approximate.... could be less/more depending on the weather. Also with the addition of the cocoa, you may need less
2-3 tablespoons/50-75 ml dark cocoa powder
This makes a VERY stiff dough.
Place butter & syrup in a bowl, mix well. Add the vanilla & stir. Place 1/2 of icing sugar in your bowl, add your salt & cocoa. Stir until your icing sugar is incorporated. By this time your mixture will be pretty stiff. Rub some butter on your kitchen counter & place the mixture on it. This is so it won't stick to your counter. Now add the remaining icing sugar 1/2 cup-125 ml at a time and knead well into your mixture. Good hint..... rub your hands with butter so they won't become so sticky. After each addition of icing sugar, see how the mixture feels. Should be stiff, but pliable enough to roll out. Only you can tell if you need more or less icing sugar. I always add less, roll it into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap & put into a container or ziploc bag. Let it rest for a hour or so. When you test it after resting, if it is too sticky, add more sugar. Most recipes say to add icing sugar when rolling out, I don't. I rub a thin layer of butter or shortening on the counter to roll out. Moves much easier, and you can pick it up & move around. You roll & lay on your cake just like fondant. Actually, this is a "form" of fondant.
Hope this helps Ebule.
