Pro Tip: Once you have poured in the liquid chocolate into the molds, look left, look right, look behind, and when you see no one's there, dip your finger into the bowl, run the finger around to collect as much leftover as possible, and enjoy heaven ha ha :)

I wanted to share with you something that I discovered while watching you make your chocolate. You spoke about the texture of the chocolate because of the powdered milk, and not being able to stir it in the machine for three or four days. Well what I did was put my dehydrated milk in a coffee grinder and ground down to a very fine espresso powder. And there's about a 10th of a percent reduction in volume, maybe just a bit more. So what I did I added it just like you instructed and I put mine in a KitchenAid mixer with a scraping blade and let it run for a couple hours. What a difference it made almost completely smooth. Thanks for your video can't wait to see the one on tempering.

I think this is the first home made chocolate video I've seen that's honest. Thank you for your honesty about the texture and little bit of grainy texture. Watching other videos I thought I was doing something wrong but now I know that the homemade stuff will be a little grainy and not 100% smooth like store bought. Thank you again for your honest video! 🤗

I used a heavy cream instead of powder milk and butter instead of coco butter and it turned out tasty😍

[sarahswarthout]

I tried it again and it was awesome I grinded the powdered sugar a little longer and I put a pinch of salt and some rice puffs and less sugar I love it

[IamwhoIam]

I have a powdered coconut milk/creamer and I just used a tablespoon of it and it was pretty awesome tasting. I'm glad I tried it. A dark chocolate and milk chocolate candy bars are $2.29 at the 6-11.
Also Coco producers lost 1/3 of their crop in the year 2020 so expect the price of cocoa powder to go way up .

I ordered the exact ingredients from Amazon yesterday and got everything already. The molds aren't coming until Thursday but I can't wait to try this. Thank u for this awesome recipe!

I would like to commend you on your honesty and transparency about how the chocolate in this recipe would come out compared to store-bought chocolate. let us something that has been lacking in a large number of YouTube videos I have looked at on this very same topic. You, and one other YouTuber that I know of for sure early the only ones that made this disclaimer explicitly, and because of that I don’t think that I would actually attempt to make this type of chocolate at my house. I suppose it might be fun as an experiment, but I think the ingredients I have would be better served for making something else. So thank you for saving me from the disappointment. I’m happy to report however, I did make your three ingredient fudge yesterday, and three of us got to taste it so far and it was quite yummy. it was the chocolate fudge, and I actually added vanilla extract and almonds to my batch. Keep up the good work and will be looking at more of your videos in the future, have a nice day.

Honestly, I feel like the graininess may add some character to it. I think I’ll love this. Thanks so much Matt!

[lauralittleton]

I made the dark cho recipe first. Put in freezer over night and made ganashe with it. The ganashe was delicious!
So today I'm creating this milk chocolate recipe. I will do the same...freeze it, cut it up and add hot heavy cream to make truffles. Wish me luck with the truffles. I'm looking forward to trying them.

[syedairajabidi]

I agree on the point the way he said it wont be same as other chocolates 🍫 love his transparency real help.

[makaylaforbes]

Its been SO long since ive made this! It works out really well

[HerHomeschoolHomestead]

Yes! I was so glad that you followed up with the snap test. My favorite part 😂.

[okeefenokeetheseventeenth]

I actually grow a number of Theobroma cacao trees, and harvest the pods 3x a year. Also pressing my own cocoa butter, and roasting other cocoa seeds to make my own cocoa powder. I even grow my own vanilla orchids. But I still have to purchase milk powder and icing sugar....

[bucketiii]

Maybe this is weird but I love Matt's genuine smile! He just seems so excited to share. Thanks, Matt.
