I can't remember who originally posted it (sorry, because I like to give credit to authors).

color desired
1/2
cup glucose

ice cold water
Gently melt coating. Stir in glucose and mix lightly. Add water. Stir together (don't overmix). Cover w/ plastic wrap and allow to ripen overnight. Next day knead well, cover, and allow to set overnight.
MORE:
Heat up the candy till it melted
and stick it in a kitchen aid then pour in the corn syrup. Am I supposed
to heat up both ingredients and then mix it? Thanks anyone for their help!

When I make candy clay I melt the candy then add the corn syrup all in one pot just stir it with a wooden spoon it will come together then pour on wax paper and let sit. Don't over stir or the fat in the candy will start to separate. Lisa
I think that was my problem I was over stiring. It was like the corn syrup wouldn't mix in with the melted candy. Thanks so much! I'll try again. Kanani
I recently attended a demo at our day of sharing in Missouri and learned "milk" the clay until all the oil is out of it, I have made the flowers this way and the old way with all the oil, I much prefer the new way. You can air brush the flowers or use dusting powders. They look like gumpaste when the oil is removed. Try both ways, The "milked" clay does take a lot of squeezing. but you will be pleasantly surprised. Janette
Are you talking just squeezing out the oil in the candy? And if you are when do you do this when you make the candy or after its set? Lisa
I'm wondering how you do that? Is there instruction somewhere or a recipe that called for how to do that? Thanks! Kanani
When you stir the syrup in it you
start squeezing and squeezing until all the oil is gone. I will feel very
stiff, When you are ready to use it knead it with your hands until warmed
up or heat in microwave for a second or two. Jane
