Well my hubby calls them "blobs" but i try to spread everything evenly on the plate both with the residue and the oil (as Flame said...let the oil cool somewhat and it will be more pliable) but grab it before it REALLY hardens. I mentioned to someone that it somewhat has the texture of really soft candle wax or something.

I'm thinking something along the line of a smaller and even shallow dish to pour the mixture in so it will pretty much spread itself evenly and then cut with a knife. I'm still WAY experimenting with that part so if you have another idea....go for it!!

Have fun...
