I had something ready for today but then I was so tempted to make those Chocolates I used to make during my college days. I remember saying I should check out the recipe and make them again. So when I got a day off in the middle of the week, what do you expect me to do.
I went in search of the old recipe book, while flipping through the handwritten book I was hit with nostalgia on the number of times Amma and I would have sat with it and discussed recipes. The dairy has all handwritten recipes that we have collected over years. There were in fact three different recipes for homemade chocolates, I remember making with Milk powder and so selected this recipe.
I am sure I will always get another chance to try out the other two recipes. This recipe again is very quick to make and you won't go wrong. I was so glad when Chinnu tasted a tiny bit and said he loves this. I am sure one can't go wrong in making a dish following the recipe, but I realized I can.
Instead of getting a sugar syrup, I was in haste to remove some impurities I found in the sugar and completely forgot about cooking the sugar to a thread consistency. The result was, I was chatting with Athamma, and before I could even realize I poured the sugar into the milk powder. Anyway, I rescued it by cooking it till I felt the consistency was right.

Homemade Chocolate 2 on the stovetop
After setting it for almost 24 hours, I think the chocolate is set in the correct texture. I made this on Thursday late evening and thought overnight refrigeration would be enough.
But it took the entire day and this morning to get to the shape. If you followed the sugar thread method, I am sure it will come out quicker. Otherwise, it will taste like fudge.

Thanks Dear for posting such recipes.
Rani says
why do you insist on greased aluminium foil at the end ,why can't I use normal greased tray/greased plate for pouring in the chocolate?
Srivalli says
Rani, The greased foil is to enable us to handle the chocolates easily. We can simply peel the paper off, whereas with a plate or tray, it will still get struck to the plate and it may loose the shape. I found it easy with foil. Thanks
neha kala says
If I use liquid milk how much quantity will be used in made chocolate
Srivalli says
Neha This recipe calls for milk powder only. If you make with milk it will turn out to be more like fudge texture and not a chocolate texture. I think it will be about 2 cups of milk.
