How to make chocolates at home:

Homemade chocolates are made in two ways. One is using the cocoa powder and the other with compounded chocolate.  Today, I am sharing a recipe using cocoa powder. A few things we need to keep in mind while making chocolates. I have read recipes using butter but its best to use cocoa butter or coconut oil. Secondly, we should always follow the double boiler method here.  In this method, water is boiled in a pan on a low flame. A larger bowl is kept over it and the chocolate is made in it. Remember, water may seep into a small container. Lastly, chocolate moulds are essential to give shape. 

Let’s get making chocolates :
