Homemade Chocolate

It’s Easter and that means chocolate! And while we’re all staying home during this time, why not make your own? It’s easy, fun and a great activity to keep the kids entertained!

Ingredients:

2 cups cocoa powder

3/4 cup cocoa butter or dairy butter

1 cup water

2/3 cup cold pressed raw milk

1/2 cup sugar

1/4 cup icing sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt

Saucepan

Measuring cups

Bowls

Flexible plastic molds

Instructions:

Heat a saucepan of water until it simmers. Meanwhile, mix the cocoa powder and butter into a thick paste.

Immerse the cocoa mixture in the heated water and bring back to simmering. Then remove the heated cocoa mixture and transfer to a bowl.

Combine the two sugars and salt. Mix together in a bowl or food processor until smooth.

Add the sugar and salt to the cocoa mixture. Pour in milk slowly while stirring thoroughly to remove any lumps.

Pour the mixture into plastic molds, then refrigerate for at least six hours or until the chocolate hardens.

Happy Easter!
