Adding cooled chocolate to fondant

To add coloring and flavoring to fondant, dust your workstation with powdered sugar, and lightly press your fondant flat. Cut several slits in the fondant, and pour the flavorings (like extracts, melted and cooled chocolate, or fruit purees) and food coloring in the slits.

Dust your hands with powdered sugar and knead the fondant as you did before, until the coloring and flavoring are evenly distributed throughout the fondant.
