- 6 ounces milk chocolate, finely chopped bars (or 1 cup chips)
- 6 ounces dark chocolate, finely chopped bars (or 1 cup chips)
- 2/3 cup Crystal Sugar Confectioners Powdered Sugar
- 1/2 cup light corn syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon orange extract, optional
Instructions
- Heat milk chocolate and dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, on medium-high power, for 30-second bursts of power, stirring after each, until 75% of the chocolate is melted. Then stir vigorously until all chocolate has melted.

- Place in a zip-top bag and flatten to about 1/2-inch thickness.
- Set aside, at room temperature, for one hour.
- Remove from bag and knead just until smooth.

- Wrap in wax paper, if desired.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
