I saw a video the other day online. The woman was using the large Hershey bars and cutting the walls,and roof shapes from the bars. she was making a chocolate “gingerbread” type house. Using melted chocolate to put the walls together etc. Does anybody know how to do this or where I can find that video again?

Best answer:

Answer by sirima b
I do not know where to get the video, but it is quite easy, you cut templates the size you like for the walls and roof, and use chocolate bars and melted chocolate to bind them together now you can have your chocolate house, it is very easy, use sponge to hold pieces in place. Good luck

Chocolate The History, The Origin and The Flavour

Chocolate The History, The Origin and The Flavour

Chocolate has been a favorite of man for thousands of years. Ancient people brewing the seeds of the cacao tree into a yummy beverage was the beginning of the wide assortment of chocolates that we enjoy today.

Once chocolate was discovered by European conquests, it became a treat only the wealthiest could afford. Not only was chocolate expensive, but it was bitter. Sugar and spices used to sweeten it were expensive too and out of the common man’s reach. It was in the 1800’s that the industrial age and mass production made chocolate candy affordable for everyone.

Watch this amateur video and get entertained!

Q&A: Does anyone have any good white chocolate recipes?

Question by WhiteWolf359: Does anyone have any good white chocolate recipes?
I tried making “White Chocolate Brownies” from a recipe online, but they just don’t turn out right. All gooey and gross. Does anyone have any good white chocolate recipes, aside from cookies? I have a bag of Ghiarardelli White Chocolate chips and I want to make something really special for Valentine’s Day for my fiance.

Best answer:

Answer by *Think Pink*

Chunky White Chocolate S’mores:

1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1 large egg
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup uncooked regular oats
3/4 cup crisp rice cereal
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 (4-ounce) bars white chocolate, broken into chunks, or 1 1/2 cups white chocolate morsels
12 large marshmallows

Beat shortening at medium speed with an electric mixer until fluffy; add sugars, beating well. Add egg, beating until blended.

Combine flour and next 4 ingredients in a separate bowl; gradually add to sugar mixture, beating after each addition.

Stir cereal, vanilla, and white chocolate into mixture.

Drop by tablespoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheets; flatten with fingertips. Bake at 350° for 10 minutes or until lightly golden. Cool slightly on cookie sheets; remove to wire racks to cool. Store in tins.

Place marshmallows on a long stick or skewer; toast over low heat (below 300°), 3 to 5 minutes or until golden. Place 1 marshmallow on a cookie, and top with a second cookie.

Yield: 1 dozen

Chocolate: A Bittersweet Saga of Dark and Light

Chocolate: A Bittersweet Saga of Dark and Light

Chocolate: A Bittersweet Saga of Dark and Light

A delectable journey into the world of chocolate–from manufacturing to marketing, French boutiques to American multinationals–by the award-winning author of Olives.

Science, over recent years, has confirmed what chocolate lovers have always known: the stuff is actually good for you. It’s the Valentine’s Day drug of choice, has more antioxidants than red wine, and triggers the same brain responses as falling in love. Nothing, in the end, can stand up to chocolate as a basic fundament to human life.

In this scintillating narrative, acclaimed foodie Mort Rosenblum delves into the complex world of chocolate. From the mole poblano–chile-laced chicken with chocolate–of ancient Mexico to the contemporary French chocolatiers who produce the palets d’or–bite-sized, gold-flecked bricks of dark chocolate–to the vast empires of Hershey, Godiva, and Valrhona, Rosenblum follows the chocolate trail the world over. He visits cacao plantations, meets with growers, buyers, makers, and tasters, and investigates the dark side of the chocolate trade as well as the enduring appeal of its product.

Engaging, entertaining, and revealing, Chocolate: A Bittersweet Saga of Dark and Light is a fascinating foray into this “food of the gods.”
