Home Made Chocolate

  Making Chocolate at home is not that hard really. Use really good quality cocoa powder and a fine white milk powder that does not smell too milky. These are a great way to treat your kids, friends or to decorate your cakes or dessert platings. Try adding flavoring like orange zest or vanilla extract. You can also add chopped nuts etc.
