Number Of Ingredients 2

2-8 ounces chocolate, (melted (and tempered if needed))
optional mix-ins or toppings like toffee bits, cookie pieces, nuts, dried fruits, caramel bits, and more

Steps:

  • Pour your melted and tempered pure chocolate or melted compound chocolate (candy melts, melting wafers, confectionery coating, and almond bark) into a candy bar mold, non-stick loaf pan, or rectangle plastic container.
  • If desired, you can stir your favorite candy bar toppings into the melted chocolate before pouring it into the mold or you can add the ingredients on top of the wet chocolate.
  • Tap the mold a few times to allow any trapped air bubbles to come to the surface of the chocolate.
  • Pop the air bubbles using a toothpick or knife.
  • Then tap the mold a few more times to smooth out the top surface of the chocolate.
  • Chill pure chocolate candy bars in the refrigerator or compound chocolate (candy melts, etc.) in the freezer for about 10 minutes just until the chocolate hardens.
  • Remove and un-mold the candy bars.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the bar will taste. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Temper the chocolate. Tempering is a process of heating and cooling the chocolate in a specific way. This helps to stabilize the chocolate and prevent it from becoming grainy or oily.
  • Use a variety of mix-ins. Nuts, dried fruits, spices, and other ingredients can be added to the chocolate to create a variety of flavors and textures.
  • Be creative. There are endless possibilities when it comes to making chocolate bars. Experiment with different flavors and ingredients to create your own unique creations.
