In this Text Effect Quickie, we'll show you how to create delectable, dark chocolate text as shown in the preview below. Though the effect does take a bit of planning, you can download the Free Chocolate Effect Layer Style.
Our final step is to select smudge tool set the opacity around 70-80% and dragging it over the chocolate's background layer to get the melting chocolate effect. Our yummy chocolate text is finished:
Double click the layer to apply layer styles. Add a Bevel and Emboss layer. Set the style to Inner Bevel, technique to Smooth. You can try the chisel techniques if you want, but I like the little blur that smooth offers, almost like the chocolate has melted a little. Maximize the depth to 1000%. Direction Up. The Size will depend on your text size, but should be relatively low, and in this case (for an image width of approx 1000 pixels) I used 6 with soften set to 0. Uncheck the Global Light setting, then set the angle to 90 and the altitude to 45. For simplicity, you can try using screen and multiply modes with white and black and effect the opacity, but I like changing the highlight and shadow modes to normal and 100%, then select colors that complement the chocolate color. Highlight becomes a more yellow caramel and shadow is darker brown.
