I am looking for a few good recipes for making my own dark chocolate candies using cocoa powder and cocoa butter, and Splenda sugar substitute.
Hi Frank,
This is a question that comes up frequently in various forms. Unfortunately, I don't have an easy recipe for you.
Here's what some visitors have said about
how to make a 60% dark chocolate bar using sweetener, so maybe you can get some tips there.
It's a bit tricky to try to make chocolate itself from scratch if that's what you are trying to do. I haven't seen a good "simple" recipe myself.
Here are some instructions on
How To Make Chocolate From Scratch that will give you the basic steps involved.
Let us know if you find a recipe that works for you. There will be others coming behind you who will be thrilled if you share it.
Have fun!
