Informative video. I just read recently of adding coca leaf powder to chocolate. Apparently, the review said the alkaloid neutralizes the acidity of the cacao and less sugar is needed to sweeten it. The theobromine and the coca alkaloids also complement each other from what I read. I will experiment a bit and see how the coca leaf powder inclusion turns out.

What does the percentage mean? i.e 60% dark milk chocolate is the same as 20% cacao 20% powdered milk 20% cacao butter?

Hey, I love your videos they are very helpful. I do have a question. When adding inclusions do you have to account for that in the net weight of the final product?

[clarenceteo]

I was thinking after watching this video if you add powder of any sort you have to add cocoa butter to 'moisten' it... Does it mean if I want to make a successful honey chocolate it has got to be honey milk chocolate? 🤔

This is an older video so I'm not sure if you'll see this but from one chocolate maker to another, you can get freeze dried powdered honey (and maple syrup) to put into your chocolate, also have you tried using food safe essential oils to add flavor?

[StrifeXFair]

Hello, great informative video and thanks for sharing! I was wondering if you could crush just the cocoa butter and lavender flowers in a stone melanger, then sift out this cocoa butter and then add into the bulk of the chocolate in the ball mill only at the final steps? Would this be feasible? Thanks!

Hi sir how to price chocolate how to decide on price please make a video on it.Thank you

[christianortiz]

Hi Dylan thankyou for all your valuable information
I was wondering when you make infusions and inclusions, do you have to considered the properties of the ingredients for the nutrional facts like sugar for example
Because the proportions of the 100g would change
Thanks

Best regards,
Christian

Hi, have you ever tried hibiscus sabdarifa as either a powder of small particles. I use Hibiscus in some of my products and match it with our dark chocolate mousse it really very good. The Hibiscus has a flavour reminiscent of raspberries, watermelon, rhubarb, plum and strawberry with great acid.
You mentioned having trouble with liquid honey, what about dried honey, would that work? Cheers Peter Nicholson

How much is the ratio cacao, milk and cacao butter you need for milk chocolate?

[ekrepska]

This is so helpful! I'm just an amateur and learning so much from this channel. I would love to make a batch of passion fruit infusion, but I'm having hard time figuring out how to find passion fruit powder. Any advice or brands that your recommend?

[lurvzus]

Hey
The video you shared is amazing and looks delicious. What are the ratios you have for milk chocolate in the video?

[Greatewall]

Hello there absolutely loving your videos, thanks a million for sharing your knowledge!

Can i ask you regarding the final Chocolate bar weight with inclusions? For example if my molds are for 60 gr Chocolate bars and i add by eye inclusions some of these will change the final weight, How that works? Thanks for replying!

[serahbrandenn]

3:08 how much is "a while" for soaking the lavender in cocoa butter?

[sugatabasuroychoudhury]

Can we add condense milk in milk chocolate🍫

[manjumuzik]

Hi friend please help in pricing for Chocolates

[abtool]

Awesome 😍😍😍
Which of these grinder brands do you prefer, electra, santha or kadzama?
Can I buy a used one, where can I find it, for example?
I am so excited about your videos

[theutahartist]

Out of curiosity, why don't you use powdered honey for your bars? I had no idea you could USE liquid honey. It makes me nervous to think about, but now I sorta want to try it.
