Edible cookie-cutter shapes: what can i use instead of sugarpaste or marzipan, that has bright colours and....?

Marshmallow fondant is preferred by some, but I still find it far too sweet for my tastes. So, I prefer to make modeling chocolate. It's extremely easy, hardens in a couple of days, and tastes WAY better than fondant in my opinion. Just chop up 10 ounces of chocolate and melt. Stir in 1/3 cup corn syrup, and continue to stir until there are no shiny streaks of syrup and it forms a soft ball. Spread onto a piece of plastic wrap or waxed paper and allow to firm up for a couple of hours. You can use it just as you would fondant: rolling, cutting, molding, modeling.
