| Yes, that is a Star Wars mold, just out of refrigerator so icy a bit but all the more fitting for the theme. |
I always wanted to make chocolate home, and this recipe from: http://minimalistbaker.com/diy-dark-chocolate-almond-bars/ was a great initiation.
We followed all the steps to the T, just did not add the vanilla (because we did not have it) but we found it sweet and flavorsome enough for our taste.
All the ingredients are easy to find except raw cacao butter. We had to buy it online, and it typically is carried at organic stores.
Once the cacao butter melts, everything comes together pretty fast. It is just whisking things together, and pouring chocolate over the almonds.
Though it melts in hand a bit faster than the usual chocolates, it does keep shape in room temperature. For better results one should tamper the chocolate but I cannot imagine pouring chocolate onto a cold surface. It does look so messy! Maybe next time!
