The only proof I have of its existence are photos from someone's chocolate blog from 2010
Here's what they looked like on the inside.
I remember eating these around the late 2000's but I haven't been able to find a box in any recent years even when searching online. Does anyone know if its still around?
So I’m trying to do this recipe and it calls for fudge. I can’t find fudge anywhere near me. Ik chocolate and fudge are two completely different things but is there a chocolate similar to it (fudge)? Thanks
hi, does anybody else know of this bounty chocolate bar that is NOT the one with coconut in it? i swear i remember having one a couple years ago. i googled it because i really liked it and i saw results on the difference between the bounty chocolate bar i had and the popular bounty chocolate bar that has coconut in it. the bounty that i had had a filling that kind of looked like a mars bar or a twix. i tried searching for it but all that comes up is the bounty chocolate bar with coconut and i feel like im going crazy. please help 😭😭😭
tl;dr is there another chocolate bar called bounty that has no coconut in it at all? totally different kind of chocolate bar than the one with coconut, but it is also called bounty?
This is from the 90s. Not sure if Indian or foreign. It was a wafer chocolate which came in single packs (like Rafaelo might have been in a bigger pack). Dark brown to Brown wrapping with a snowy peak image on the front. The wafer was a square shaped cuboid. It was chocolate covered and had a fine mesh pattern stamped, I think on both sides.
Anyone remember anything like this? Do they still make it?
My mother, a wonderful artist of many mediums, including chocolate, had a saying (not sure if she coined it or not):
Be known as the person who has chocolate.
This has worked well for me in so many ways like when I was paycheck to paycheck working at big law firms… chocolate lured over C-level ppl like John Roberts (pre-scotus). Years later it drew over top brass and talent at big ad agencies when I was a working creative. Cut to today, I gave a Pure protein bar to one of the stable guys where my wife keeps her horse.
Doesn’t matter who ppl are, they all appreciate it and it started up good talks maybe even friendships. It was a pleasant surprise to have the “stable boy” (a grown Guatemalan man) say to me and my wife, “Thank you so much! Your husband always has chocolate and he always shares it. Everyone appreciates it so much!”
I didn’t know he even remembered that since it’s been months since I’d seen him.
RIP Mom.
Looking for some tasty dark chocolate to have neat as a diet snack . Amul isn't really an option since while their Twilight bars taste good and are from their allegedly well sourced series , they're only really 50% cacao and their base offering tastes bland . I'd love some recommendations for new brands to try :)
my grandparents really like dark chocolate and i am currently in europe (italy, france, spain and portugal left) and am wondering if anyone has any recommendations from these countries, i think they prefer plain/ not outlandish flavours
This time around, attempting the same recipe, but using the Mortar and pestle approach 😝🙏
Let that sink in. And cacao prices almost quadrupled in just a few months. "Interesting" times ahead...
It’s so waxy and dry… I was hoping it was expired so I had something to blame.
I can only blame myself for not going with the classic Reese’s.
-ashamed and sad-
When I was looking around for equipment to make Chocolate, I realize most of the equipment for Chocolate making are very bulky and consumes a lot of electricity.
This doesn’t seem feasible since I live full time out of my Toyota Camry while I move around in the USA to evangelize cacao from the Amazon rainforest grown using regenerative technique. A huge part of the reason is because I power everything using my 200 watts solar panels.
I am right now exploring different ways to make chocolate out of my car using energy efficient methods that do not consume too much electricity
This is one of the method I’ve tried today out here in the California high desert. Enjoy! 🤩🙏
PS: if you can think of other energy efficient ways I love to learn more about it too
I have recently purchased a Premier Tilting Melanger and there is a motor/gear belt that it came with - is this a spare or am I meant to add this myself by dismantling it?
I've tried unscrewing the base bit (the maroon part) but I can't seem to lift it off to expose the motor/gear bit...if that makes sense?
Any help would be appreciated!
Just bought a twirl bar today with my meal deal and it tastes like Hershey's, not usual Cadbury's. Anyone else noticed the same?
Hello fellow chocolate people!
I’m on the hunt for the best 100% chocolate bars out there and would love to hear your recommendations.
What 100% chocolate bars have you tried and loved? What makes them stand out? Are there any specific brands or artisanal makers you swear by?
Thanks in advance for sharing your favorites!
This is the fermentation technique used by the farmers in the Dominican Republic to bring out the flavor of their Cacao! Enjoy!! 🤩🙏
Hey so I've started making chocolate bon bons and they're coming out really well so far. However I'm having an issue with my coloured cocoa butter. I'm tempering it correctly because it is coming out of the molds without flaking, however I still find when i bring it down and then up to 29°c is it too runny, when I want to pain onto molds there's not enough definition. I'm mixing my own cocoa butter with cocobutter concentrated colour. What could I be doing wrong?
My wife's chocolate company is open for delivery in the US. Proud is an understatement: https://magnochocolates.us/
Hello all, I am launching a dark chocolate brand but am having trouble finding someone to die fold wrap my bars with aluminum foil (as seen in photos). Any idea where I should look? I want to start with only a few hundred units to begin. Any machines I can purchase to do this which are relatively cheap? I am willing to do the process, but have not found any resources.
Thank you for your advice!
If you’re curious how Flavor is brought out from the Cacao beans, it’s via this process of fermentation
