Guest guest Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 Sounds good! But can anyone verify that cocoa butter is legal?

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 There was a discussion a few months back about it saying it was. And since Carol is passing on the recipe, I'd say it's a safe bet The link she sent is the site where you can get pure, legal cocoa butter. Here is the link directly to the cocoa butter: http://shop.chocolatealchemy.com/collections/raw-ingredients Someone on pecanbread also successfully made hard chocolate. She wasn't sure of proportions, but what she did was melt some Cocoa Butter, then put in a food processor with honey and vanilla and some ice cubes. As it cooled, it hardened. All this talk of chocolate is making me want to order some right now!!!! -Joanna > > > > Well, I see from your sig you are fighting candida (aren't we all!), so this > > is for the future when you can have honey again. > > > > In a small saucepan, over low heat, melt together equal parts butter, honey > > and cocoa butter (www.ChocolateAlchemy.com) > > > > Place in fridge to cool.
