Ingredients Roasted Almond Chocolates:

1/2 cup cocoa butter
1/2 cup cocoa powder (unsweetened)
1/4 cup castor sugar or finely powdered sugar
1/4 cup milk powder
1 tablespoon roasted almonds & raisins

Notes:

If you want to make a pure dark chocolate, reduce the quantity of sugar.
If you want to make pure milk chocolate, skip cocoa powder & increase the quantity of milk. powder.
You can vanilla essence to it to give it an additional flavor, but I have skipped it here to retain the original flavors of cocoa butter & cocoa powder.
You can use coconut oil instead of cocoa butter to make this recipe.
I have used less amount of sugar & milk powder to keep it less sweet and more of a dark chocolate. You can vary according to your taste & choice.
Preferably use unsweetened cocoa powder for this recipe. In case you are uing sweetened cocoa, then reduce the quantity of sugar.
These chocolates can be stored in the refrigerator for around 3-4 months.
I have used home roasted almonds and raisins.

How to roast almonds & raisins:

Take a kadhai and add whole almonds & raisins in it. Keep stirring & sautéing on a low flame to avoid burning for 5-10 minutes
After 10 minutes, almonds will turn crunchy & aromatic and raisins will become a bit darker in color. Turn off the heat and take out the nuts from the kadhai. Roasted dry fruits are ready.

Recipe:

1. Take a double boiler for which, take 1 cup of water in a pan and bring it to boil.

2. Put a glass mixing bowl over the pan in such a way that its bottom should not touch the water and there should be a gap between the glass bowl & water.

3. Add cocoa butter to the mixing bowl. You can easily get the cocoa butter at any grocery store or you can order online.

4. Let the cocoa butter melt on a low/medium flame. Keep stirring.

5. Once the butter melts completely, add 1/2 cup of cocoa powder & milk powder and keep stirring well so that there are no lumps.

6. Further add 1/4 cup of sugar and mix well to make the batter smooth and lumpfree.

7. Mix everything together to make a fine smooth batter. Add roasted almonds & raisins to the mixture and mix well. Please refer the notes section to know how to roast the almonds.

8. Now, pour the batter into the small silicon moulds using a spoon. You can get these silicone moulds easily at any utensils shop or you can order online.
