Chocolate Thoughts
The act of gift-giving in and of itself is personal, and so should your gift be. Add the perfect touch to your gift! Make them personalized.
I, personally, love being on the receiving end. Who doesn’t, right? Right? Let’s not kid ourselves. And I appreciate it even more when it’s obvious that the gift is for me and me only! What better way to know that the gift is especially for you than seeing your name written all over it?

Can you melt chocolate chips or chocolate bars then cool them into one big bar?
Question by Katy Noe: Can you melt chocolate chips or chocolate bars then cool them into one big bar?
If i can do that how would i let it cool? Is there a certain type of chocolate i need? How would i melt it? I’m doing this for a class project. I am making it look like chocolate “tree bark”. I was planning on carving in the wood design once it was cooled. Thank you for your help if you answer!

Answer by Nikki Davidson
I’d melt the chips and spread it evenly over some wax paper. Regular chocolate chips work just fine (I have done something similar before), but some grocery stores and craft stores also sell special melting chips that melt more easily.
If you really want a “tree bark” look, buy some dark chocolate chips and some milk chocolate chips. Melt them separately and then swirl them together slightly before you spread it out. It’ll have different tones of brown in it, making it look even more like real wood

What is chocolate compound? Can I use it to make chocolate bars?
Question by cocoahazelnut: What is chocolate compound? Can I use it to make chocolate bars?
I found a recipe online to make chocolate bars. The thing is, it uses milk chocolate. The supermarket I went to didn’t seem to have any bar of cooking chocolate named “milk chocolate”, so I bought “chocolate compound” instead as it looks similar and there’s a chocolate recipe at the back of the package, so I just assumed it’s cooking chocolate by another name. But what is actually chocolate compound? Can I use it to substitute milk or cooking chocolate? Thank you..

Answer by Natalia
Yes you can. Compound chocolate is what is mostly used in cooking and what’s sold at the supermarkets as confectionery. The alternative is ‘couverture’ chocolate and that’s used more for gourmet chocolates and sold in special chocolate shops, at a higher price too. Most recipes when they ask to use chocolate assume it’s just compound chocolate unless otherwise stated.
Compound chocolate is the easiest type of chocolate to use when making chocolate bars. this is because it will set very nicely and quite quickly. When using couverture chocolate, the chocolate needs to be tempered before it will set which basically means it needs to be highly temperature-controlled during melting and cooling down. It can be difficult for some people to temper chocolate so commercial businesses who use couverture will most likely have a machine which will temper. Anyway, it’s not very common for supermarkets to sell couverture and if they did, it would be written very big on the packet. You’re safe.

How do you make a gingerbread house out of chocolate bars?
Question by shiela1953: How do you make a gingerbread house out of chocolate bars?
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
