Several years ago my wife bought me a make your own chocolate kit which contained a small history booklet on making chocolate, instructions, chocolate and a mould.
I enjoyed learning about chocolate and making it.
You can buy catering chocolate from Amazon and from specialist retailers which you can use to make your own chocolate bars and sweets.
However, you can try another way of making your own chocolate at home.
Buy some inexpensive chocolate bars from Tesco, Lidl, Aldi, Morrisons, etc. You can buy plain or milk chocolate bars, or white chocolate bars.
You will need a double boiler. Break the bars up and place the pieces into the double boiler, stirring with a wooden spoon.
When it is melted you can add flavourings such as orange, Vanilla, etc to the liquid chocolate and make sure your stir it in well. Do not allow it to get too hot, though.
You can add Camp Coffee to it to make a delicious coffee flavoured chocolate.
When you feel that it is ready you can add the chocolate to a suitable mould or pour it on to a greased or oiled plate.
Want to be adventurous? You can make your own version of a rocky road bar by adding chopped nuts, meringue pieces, marshmallows, etc.
