Directions:Coat an 8x8 glass pan with cooking spray, butter, or oil. Line your pan with plastic wrap making sure the plastic wrap hangs over the edges of the pan so that you can use it to pop out your chocolate. Alternatively you can use silicone molds to mold your chocolate, if you plan to do this ready your piping bags at this point and get your molds ready.
Chop both chocolates and place in a glass bowl add salt. Heat the cream and milk together just until they begin to boil (use medium heat). PAY ATTENTION to this mixture and stir often if not constantly, because of the sugar in the milk it can scorch easily. As soon as your milk begins to boil pour it over your chocolate. Let the mixture sit for a minute or two then whisk together well, as soon as all of your chocolate is melted add in the cocoa powder and mix until your mixture is well combined.
Pour mixture into prepared pan and smooth out the top of the fudge block. If you are using molds quickly spoon chocolate into piping bags and pipe into your molds, you will want your molds to be about 1 oz. Let this set overnight or for 3-4 hours in the fridge. When the mixture is set cut it into 25 pieces. These pieces can then be skewered with plastic spoons, stir sticks, or lollipop sticks for presentation or gift giving. These would be awesome skewered with a homemade marshmallow wrapped individually and given as a gift for any of the fall to spring holidays!
To make hot chocolate: Heat 6-8 oz milk (don’t use water here, please) on the stovetop or in the microwave. Add your chocolate block and let set for a minute or two, then stir until all the chocolate is melted. I only needed one chocolate block for about 9 oz of milk, but you might like it more “chocolaty” and might need to use more than one block. Enjoy! |
