Home-made chocolate

I love chocolate, especially home-made chocolate. It reminds me of my childhood. This is the reason why I “bake” this chocolate from time to time.

Ingredients:

350 g sugar

100 ml water

100 g butter

250 g milk powder

40 g cocoa

2 tbsp rum (optional)

 

Preparation:

Add the water and sugar in a pot and stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves.

Then cook the syrup for another 3-5 minutes.

Remove the pot from the heat and add the butter.

Mix until the butter melts.

Optional: add 2 tablespoons of the rum and stir.

Add milk powder and stir well.

Then add cocoa and stir well again.

Cover a backing mold with plastic wrap and add the mixture in this form and let it harden. (store in a cool place, can last a few hours).

Take out the chocolate from the mold, remove the foil and cut the chocolate with a knife.
