I was looking for a way to make my own chocolate at home & control the sugar quantity, I came across a recipe I liked tweaked it & made these melt in the mouth dark chocolate beauty.
You can use ice cube trays, or in the absence of one, folding foil in cupcake tins/tray can suffice.
This chocolate can also be used to frost cakes/cupcakes, & pretty much everything you can use your store bought chocolate for.
PS: Always read through instructions before trying out a new recipe.

Steps

1

Mix cocoa powder & butter till you form a paste.
2

Place cocoa butter mixture on a double boiler with a cup of water. In the absence of a double boiler, simply add water to a pot, place on your gas/stove top, & place your cocoa mixture on top of the pot, making sure it doesn't touch the water.
3

Stir the mixture while it's on heat, scraping down the sides making sure it doesn't burn. Leave on heat till the mixture is hot but not cooked.
4

Take down the mixture, add milk & sugar alternatively, tasting till you're OK with the sugar. Add salt & vanilla, & mix thoroughly.
5

Pour mixture into a piping bag and pipe onto ice cube trays or use the foil method which I used, & refrigerate for 2-3hours
6

Or use on a cake like I did here & refrigerate.
