What is chocolate
Chocolate is one of the most favourite sweet treats in the world. Chocolate is made from roasted and grounded cacao beans and then adding cocoa butter and sugar to it. It comes in 3 forms. Dark, Milk or White chocolate depends upon the amount of cocoa present in them.
Dark chocolate has the maximum amount of cocoa content, while white chocolate does not contain cocoa but only cocoa butter.
Switzerland is famous for its chocolates. Chocolate manufacturing is one of the biggest sources of their income.
Chocolates are sweet in taste and come in many different flavours and are everyone’s favourite.

How to make flavoured chocolate at home
Chocolate can be made from scratch at home or with a shortcut method where we use a ready-made chocolate slab and flavour it.
Here, I am sharing with you the shortcut method that is very quick and easy. Because for making chocolate from scratch, all the ingredients are not easily available in the market.
I have used a white chocolate slab of Morde brand (CH W-35) that is made of milk solids, sugar and fat content. We have used essence and colours to give flavour and colour to the chocolate. The essence and colour used here is artificially flavoured and oil-based. And different from that we use in the cake making.

First, we need to melt the chocolate either by microwave method or double boiler method.
Microwave method:
Cut the chocolate into small equal pieces, transfer it to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave it in a series of 20 seconds at a time till it melts completely. Then we add the flavour to it and let it cool to room temperature. Once it cools down, pour to chocolate mold and wait till they set.
Double boiler method:
If someone does not have a microwave available, they can use this method. Here we fill half of a saucepan with water and bring the water to boil. Once it starts boiling, you can put a bowl big enough to cover the mouth of that pan. So that water vapours did not leak and enter into the chocolate.
Add chocolate pieces in it and stir it gently till it melts. Now take off the bowl from the double boiler add the flavour and colour of your choice. Mix it well and cool it till the chocolate come to room temperature. Now pour the chocolate into the molds and let them set in the freezer for 5-10 minutes. Remove the chocolates from the mold.
