I used 1 lb 6 oz dark chocolate (50% cocoa solids), and 1 lb 2 oz glucose syrup . Heated chocolate and syrup to 110 F (separately), then stirred together. Cooled down, put into bag overnight and used the next day.
It needed kneading to soften it, so that I could roll it out. I only kneaded what was required for each tier so that it didn't take too long to become malleable
