Modeling Candy - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    14 oz. candy disks (for melting, chocolate or color of your choice)
    1/2 c. light corn syrup
Preparation
    Melt candy disks in double boiler or in microwave.
    Heat corn syrup over low heat or in microwave until warm, but not hot.
    Add corn syrup to melted candy and stir until thoroughly mixed.
    Put mixture in an airtight plastic bag for at least 24 hours or up to one week.
    Candy becomes easier to work with as it sets.
    When ready to use, knead a small amount until it reaches a workable consistency.
    (If it's too hard, warm first in microwave on Defrost only just until slightly softened.)
    The heat from your hands will cause the candy to become like play dough.
    Mold into edible flowers, fruits, whatever!
    Candy will \"set\" again when cool.
