Cocoa Butter Chocolate Décor Techniques: Marble Effect

To create this chocolate décor effect you will need:

• Green SCR471 and red SCR474 cocoa butters (or colours of your choice)
• Disposable gloves
• Your chosen mould (we used SMP8022P)

1. Polish your mould with lint free cloth or paper towel
2. Heat both of the cocoa butters (cap off) in the microwave for 1m 20 secs, or until it reaches 45˚C. Alternatively, leave them overnight in your holding tank/hot cupboard
3. Use a gloved thumb to dip into the red cocoa butter and do a ‘swipe’ motion inside each cavity. You may find it helpful to hold the mould at an angle. Leave to set

4. Turn the mould around, and do the same with the green. Leave to set

5. Shell with white chocolate
