Modeling chocolate - Australian recipe - Page 2

Hi all,
I know this is an old post, but I was wondering if any one can answer this?
I have made a couple of batches of modelling chocolate with white chocolate, not this recipe though (yet) and it works well enough for what I have needed it for, except for a little problem with excessive oil. to the point when I knead it it runs down my arms icon_sad.gif I need to keep blotting it on paper towel.
I am guessing it is the chocolate I am using (nestle professional snowcap).
Any other suggestions what it could be, or a different brand of chocolate to use?

I am in America so I am not familiar with that nestle product but I use callebeaut chocolate for my modeling chocolate and the cocoa butter will come out. All I do is keep working it on a marble with a metal scraper till it cools (tempers) together. I use an Ewald Notter recipe for all my chocolate. He has a great new book out called The Art of the Chocolatier. Great book, he also has The Art of the Confectioner. Hope that helps.

Its not the recipe or the brand of chocolate its the operator :)

Have a look at Lauren Kitchens Youtube clip - How NOT to make Modelling Chocolate where she will make a 'failed' batch on purpose to show exactly what you are doing wrong

Then watch the 'How to Make Modelling Chocolate' - once you know the 'do not's'  it makes success that little bit easier  :)
 

Sometimes I think I should just keep my opinions to myself,  but someone has got to be the voice of reason
