I've been using Todd's recipes for Chocolate (Dark, White, and Milk) to make christmas candy and they work great. I found DeBuyer makes a great double boiler that can be found for less than $50, and it's really improved my candy making. One thing Todd doesn't always stress... let the chocolate cool a bit before putting it into molds or the fridge. Cooling too quickly can make chocolate grainy (the sugar crystals form too quickly). Also, in the US, milk powder is sometimes hard to find, and when you do find it, it tends to need to be ground a bit finer to make good chocolate. I use a food processor for this, but a cheap $10 coffee grinder works too.

Hi Could you type here what he was saying from 1.58 to 2.12 ? It's little difficult to follow the pronounciation. And we can use ice trays na to make it set?

[@dr.wambuinjoroge7731]

@@atisha9354 now there is a tip that is very important to not use a wooden spoon because if there is any water it to get in the chocolate and you will have to start over. That is what he said!

[@pollywolf1145]

I really love the addition of honey in this recipe rather than sugar. It looks fantastic and I adore dark chocolate. You have inspired me Todd! Keep up the great work.

please tell me where you get that mold, so useful and so beautiful ♥

[@lorrainem.6920]

I'm looking forward to making this for myself. I absolutely love dark chocolate. My grandparents were bee keepers so I have a special place in my heart for honey and use it instead of sugar whenever I can so I'm really glad to see you used it here. Also, I love the way you do videos so I'm looking forward to the new channel too!

[@ArborealOreo]

I really like your "Simple Delic!" in this video. I can really feel the good mood whne you say it. I guess a lot of small-time chocolate companies make all those exotic flavoured chocolates through these types of recipes.

[@simpleeasycooking]

Thank you so much :)

[@yogihandsonhealing7223]

Your Flippin' AUSOME Todd!!! I'm officially addicted to your recipes and video's. Thank YOU for time and love put into these, greatly appreciated, needed and made and used.

[@prosperity1464]

Hi Todd. what is the shelf life of this dark chocolate. Do you need to put in the fridge always to maintain the freshness?

[@carlmarcs3647]

if you don't need to keep cacao butter or powder in the fridge,, then you don't need to keep dark chocolate in the fridge. it can last years if kept in an airtight container (and honey can last thousands of years, just in a terra cotta jar).

[@DadadadaMusic]

When it comes to living in the UK it's annoying watching these videos because you'd never find anything like cocoa butter or chia seeds or any of these strange ingredients:( so instead of cocoa butter I used coconut oil because it sets hard also and it turned out really good! It does have a bit of a coconut flavour but it still tastes like dark chocolate, love this recipe:)

[@scottttbutcher]

Cocoa-butter can be bought in the UK from www-souschef-co-uk for about £6 for 200g.

[@simpleeasycooking]

You're most welcome and thank you. The best part is there are so many flavours you can try in chocolate. So go nuts so to speak :)

[@Maorawrath]

So what percentage of cacao is this chocolate bar, is it 70%?

[@marcgrey6993]

WHAT DID YOU SAY??

[@scottttbutcher]

***** No you can't. Butter is not hard at room temperature, it is soft. What you will get is butter ganache which makes a great truffle but is not suitable for a chocolate bar.

[@simpleeasycooking]

Thank you so much i really do appreciate that. Also the link for the new channel is in the description. I forgot to mention that :)

I'm droooooliiing!!!!! It looks so crunchy and lovely!

[@simpleeasycooking]

I have thought about that but it i have found by watching others they just don't do as well as separate channels. This way you have a mix of sweet and savoury each and every week :)

[@simpleeasycooking]

no it just adds some sweetness. Trust me you do need it. You can use sugar but they both work the same. :)

[@simpleeasycooking]

yes you can but keep in mind, it will harden no matter what you do. It is the same as normal chocolate, it won't stay soft.

Amazing stuff Todd! Find most of your videos extremely handy. You are undoubtedly, my quick whip chef. Cheers!

I love the way he explain t hings. Anyway, now I see how I can flavor the chocolate. I am wondering if it is cheaper to make the chocolate from scratch or to melt the chocolate and add flavoring.

[@beckyezra1]

thank you!!! i did it with coconut oil ( i couldnt find any cocoa butter any where). it is great, thank you again!!!!!

[@Theninja80291]

is that cooking coconut nut oil? like what you use for frying?

[@beckyezra1]

master david i think so, honestly in the netherlands you have only one sort. the most important that it is pure nothing added. good luck!

[@fenilgala1845]

Hi Todd! This was again a great video. We made dark chocolate with using honey in it. But it doesn't stay out of the fridge much longer, it starts to melt within just 10 mins. Does that happen because of Honey? What shall we do to let it stay hard out of fridge? Currently, the temperature at my place is 32° to 36° Celsius. You reply would be a great help to me. Thank you!

[@fitnessuniverse111]

I like this very much.:) Generally,I choose (mostly) this kind of chocolate,and the best version we have here is 75% cocoa (but not organic-thats obvious,right),with not much of the "other" stuff that you would want to avoid-when we talk about processed food,and maybe I can mention "non-fat" chocolate for cooking (at least I think it can be mentioned ,but as a lesser option-anyway,first one is "official" chocolate). Very creative,simple,but effective-your channel attracts me more and more..:)

Todd, thanks. I never thought making chocolate could be so easy. I might try using a sugar substitute for the sweetener.

[@simpleeasycooking]

Mine didn't come out like that, maybe yours was not hot enough? But if you said it still turned out fine then there is nothing to worry about :)

[@suesmethwick4448]

Hi Todd, I have followed your instructions using real organic coco butter, raw honey, and organic vanilla extract but my chocolate turns out soft like fudge. I even cooked it to 150*f and let it sit out for hours before putting it in the fridge. Do you have any suggestions?

[@suesmethwick4448]

I have since made more only cooking the Coco butter in a stainless pot ONLY JUST ENOUGH TO BE MELTED, that along with keeping it far away from the steam of a homemade double bowler has produced some great hard dark chocolate. I also found a recipe online that recommended cooking to 122* and tampering for 10 minutes after melting.

[@alexandriaseverson9035]

If we do not have the chocolate bar mold will a flexible mini ice cube mold work?

[@maishah123]

you know the mint chocolate bars, with the thin layer of mint on the side of the chocolate. i was wondering if i could just use the cocoa butter, and put in mint flavoring, and then layer it on the dark chocolate. would it not set? because i know the dryness of the cocoa helps the chocolate turn out hard.
