food by day

Who can resist chocolate?  Not many people for sure, there are those of us who like the dark deep flavour of high cocoa chocolate.  Whilst others amongst us love the light rich flavour of white.  Of course, some prefer the middleground of milk.  Where do you fall, let me know in the comments.

Personally, I fall at either extremes, really dark or really sweet.  This is all about ‘real’ chocolate, nothing but the essentials are needed.  Thanks to the people at Mayan Magic (yes that was a mini plug, I did receive the kit for free) I’ve had the opportunity to get messy in the kitchen with chocolate.

The kit itself has three main ingredients, powders, butters and agave nectar (for sweetening).  Even if you can’t bake and have issues measuring things then do not fret.  It’s as simple as :

1. Chop & Melt the butters (bain marie aka bowl over water)
2. Whisk in the powders till smooth
3. Taste, and taste again.
4. Add agave nectar till sweet enough.
5. Pour into moulds.
6. Chill
7. Devour

Finished and Nibbled Chocolate

I used mini silicone tart tins as my moulds, and had a little nibble as you can see.  Check back in the next day or two (or have a look at you RSS) to see about the mess I made using the chocolate.  Just think, pure unadulterated truffles.
