Where can you find modeling chocolate?
Stores that sell cake decorating supplies may carry ready-made modeling chocolate. A number of online retailers also carry modeling chocolate. However, if you are still unsuccessful in finding it, you should also know that you can make your own, if you so desire. Simply Google "modeling chocolate recipe".
One recipe for modelling chocolate that I found is as follows:
Chocolate Clay (Modeling Chocolate)Ingredients:- *10 ounces semisweet chocolate (coarsely chopped chunks or chips)
- 1/3 cup light corn syrup
*Note: the chocolate can be substituted with almond bark, or colored candy disks to create different colored flowers
Instructions:
Using Microwave: In a shallow bowl, melt the chocolate in microwave (be careful so that the temperature does not exceed 100 degrees F.) for 2 minutes; stir. If chocolate is not completely melted, return to microwave for 30 seconds at a time and stir until smooth.
Using Double Boiler: Place the chocolate in the top of a double boiler over hot water and stir until melted.
- Add corn syrup to the chocolate and mix well (scrape all the corn syrup into the chocolate with a rubber spatula).
- Using a rubber spatula, stir and fold mixture, scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl well, until no shiny syrup is visible and the mixture forms a thick ball.
- Pour mixture onto a waxed paper sheet and spread with the spatula until it's about 1/2-inch thick; let it sit and stiffen, uncovered, for about 2 hours.
- Use at once or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 month.
- Your Roses or bows will harden after a few days at room temperature and can be saved by storing in a cool, dry place.
- THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO REMEMBER IS NOT TO TOUCH THE CLAY TOO MUCH. IT GETS VERY STICKY AND BECOMES HARD TO HANDLE!

Where can you find a good recipe for chocolate moose?
Ingredients: * 1 cup heavy cream * 4 oz. white chocolate baking bars, coarsely chopped * 2 tablespoons Drambuie or other orange flavored liqueur (or a drop or two of orange extract) Method: Heat cream in a 1 small saucepan until just boiling (This is called scalding the cream.) Place white chocolate into a heat proof bowl and pour hot cream over chocolate. Allow to sit for approximately 3 minutes, then stir until smooth. Stir in Drambuie and refrigerate until extremely cold (approximately 1 1/2 hours), stirring occasionally. Mixture will be thin. In a large bowl, beat cold chocolate mixture with an electric mixer on medium speed for about a minute or until chocolate begins to thicken. Switch to high speed and mix until stiff peaks form. (If it won't go to stiff peaks, it's not cold enough, place it back in the fridge for a half hour and continue beating. From here it's up to you what you do with this. Pipe it, spread it, put it in a dessert cup with your favorite topping or spread it on the bumper of a 52 Ford Pickup, it really doesn't matter. It's gonna be good no matter what you do with it.

Does Nestle cocoa powder contain nuts?
Simple cocoa powder does not contain any dairy products, but only powdered, processed cocoa (cacao) beans. However, there are many commercial products with some version of "cocoa" in the name, such as "Hot Cocoa," "Cocoa Mix," or "Instant Cocoa" that do contain a high percentage of dairy.
