How to Make Homemade Chocolate
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup milk powder and ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder until completely smooth and lump-free. Set aside.
- In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar and 1 cup water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Reduce heat to low and add 4 tablespoons (½ stick) unsalted white butter. Stir gently until the butter is melted and incorporated.
- Gradually add the milk powder and cocoa powder mixture to the saucepan, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Continue stirring until the mixture thickens and begins to pull away from the sides of the pan.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 1-2 minutes, stirring continuously. Remove from heat.
- Allow the chocolate mixture to cool completely for at least 2-3 hours, or until firm. (Optional: Pour into a lightly greased 8x8 inch baking pan and refrigerate for 1 hour to speed up the cooling process.)
- Once cooled, cut the chocolate into your desired shapes (squares, bars, etc.) or roll into small balls.
- For added flair, roll the chocolate balls in flaked coconut and chopped nuts.
