Best recipe for chocolate that will harden when cooled…but is easy to use when melted?

Question by BreadCollision: Best recipe for chocolate that will harden when cooled…but is easy to use when melted?
I don’t want to use “chocolate” almond bark to make candies using melted chocolate. I tried melting milk chocolate chocolate chips and it just became a big chalky lump. Anyone have a recipe for homemade, from-scratch chocolate that will harden when cooled? I want to make various forms of chocolate bark treats with it. Thanks so much.

Try using Nestle Milk Chocolate chocolate chips. Mix in a little milk and butter when the chips are melting, and they will harden just like homemade-difficult-to-work-with chocolate. Make sure that you melt it VERY slowly, otherwise you end up with the clumpy mess. This tastes great and is easy to work with.

How long can I store chocolate I’ve melted and formed into molded pieces?

Question by Allison H: How long can I store chocolate I’ve melted and formed into molded pieces?
I am making “chocolate leaves” for my wedding but I want to get them done when I have the time (i.e., now as opposed to a few days before the wedding). I am assuming I will need to freeze these. The molds are detailed and we’ll be piping another color on top just before wrapping and getting them out to the wedding. So how long can I store my leaves for and in what kind of container situation?

Thanks!

Answer by Doc Hudson
Personally I’d wait a while I’d wait quite a while before I started making those leaves.

Sometimes frozen chocolate discolors from the freezing. I’d suggest that you not store them more than a month, and if possible I’d story them in a refrigerator or at room temperature rather than in the freezer.

If you don’t freeze them, you won’t have to thaw them and risk melting.

Good Luck.
