I would think all you would have to do is substitute some of that powdered sugar with some cocoa powder. Unfortunately, this is a guess, and I don't have exact amounts for you. But it seems logical.

Funny you should ask now, I just had a conversation with someone yesterday about choc mmf. She did not have a mmf reciep, but she does make a choc fondant by mixing a can of chocolate frosting with 2 lbs of pw. sugar in her mixer with the dough attachment. Works just like fondant.

I have not tried it yet, but I am going to. I was also thinking about adding cocoa and melted choc to my mmf....I'm planning on trying both in the upcoming weeks. If you find an existing recipe, let us know.

I use both the cocoa powder and the melted chocolate (add the melted choc to the melted marshmallows ) I really have no idea how much I add I never measure it. icon_rolleyes.gif

katiebug, is the texture the same when you add the chocolate? I can't wait to try this.

I have heard that you can add melted unsweetened chocolate to premade fondant, but kneeding it in. So I don't see why you couldn't do that with mmf. You may need some more powder sugar in it though.

I make chocolate mmf all the time, I just add 1 oz melted unsweetened chocolate to the melted marshmallow and 3/4 cup dutch chocolate (the good powdered stuff) to the powdered sugar (I sift the sugar and chocolate together). Tastes great, everyone raves about it.

Ms. farmfresh..that sounds incredible! I must try that...
As far as that whatscookingamerica site, that's really informative. One question about her tutorial about MMF. Do you guys knead yours for 8 minutes??? I have never done it for that long and have never had any problems with my MMF. Just wondering..

SLK: Do you think that same idea of using a can of frosting and powdered sugar would work using vanilla frosting? If so, I bet it would taste better then regular fondant (or so I hear).
