Hi, I was hoping somebody has done this... what IF I substitute some of the CS for cocoa powder to make chocolate MMF? I was thinking to try this for a cake I want to make for Thanksgiving, it is chocolate cake and would love to have chocolate fondant to cover it with, not just regular MMF with chocolate brown gel colour. Any ideas or suggestions? Has anyone done this? Or do you think it might work? Maybe replace 1 cup of CS for the cocoa or until I get I good taste of chocolate? Thanks so much everybody, any ideas welcome!

Yes it is possible I have made it was fine. Exactly just sub some Cocoa, I use the Hershey's Extra Dark.

How about making candy clay and mix the two together? I have done that with home made fondant with the chocolate clay. It makes it taste like a tootsie roll.

I got the recipe from Wilton and use what ever chocolate I have around. I think they do it in 14 oz chocolate to 1/2 c corn syrup. Melt chocolat mix in the cs and let cool on cookie sheet. I place wax paper on the sheet then put the clay on it. Then place in plastic bag and let sit over night. I then mix it with the fondant. Half and Half is what I use.

Thanks soo much for sharing your tips with me!! I found one recipe for the clay and can't wait to try it! Will also check the Wiltons website to see what they say recipe wise. Thanks again!!

Hi!
I just made choc. mmf for a grooms cake this past weekend, I've used it before too and it's really good.

Just add 1/2 cup choc. chips to your 16oz. (2 cups) of marshmallows before you melt them and when you're mixing in the icing sugar, add 1/2 - 3/4 cup cocoa powder.

It all depends on how chocolatey you want it to be. I don't really like dark chocolate, so I used milk choc. chips and less cocoa powder. If you want the dark choc. taste and look, you can use semi sweet choc. chips and more dark cocoa powder.

Good luck!

Hi Purplepetunia, thanks sooooooo much for sharing your chocolate MMF with me!! I'm really excited about trying the chocolate chips, I didn't think about that! That is awesome! I'm also a Milk Chocolate kind of person... now, can I ask you something, not only taste wise (which I'm excited about) but what about the color, do you get a deep chocolate brown color?? Or do you add some color to it? Again, I do appreciate all your help!
Thanks so much and Happy Thanksgiving!!!

yummy!

Hi Ellantehalima, Thanks for sharing... I'm heading to my kitchen and getting to work... will keep you posted ladies! Thanks again!

Hi everybody, just to let you know, I made my fondant and worked great!!! I used 3/4 cups of the chocolate chips and also 1 full cup of cocoa, it was awesome!! I found it to have a little more sugar lumps than my regular MMF so I'm letting it rest overnight! I'm soo excited! And the color was also great, no need to add any extra brown color gel! Thanks again everybody and also wanted to let you know, I'm submitting the recipe I ended up using to CC, we'll see if they post it or not!

To get a "dark" chocolate color, add powdered black coloring to the mixture. The more you add the darker. Can make black fondant this way. Does not affect taste.

The chocolate diamonds cake in my photos was made with two kinds of chocolate mmf. The lighter fondante was made using regular choco mmf with plain cocoa and milk chocolate wafers. The darker base fondant was made using dark chocolate wafers, cocoa powder, and black powdered food coloring.

Hi nefgaby,
Sorry I didn't reply earlier, I'm not on this site too often.
I'm glad everything worked out for you.

I noticed you posted the recipe on this site. I just wanted to let everyone know that I got that recipe from cakefairy18.
