Flavoured Chocolate

• Dark compound - 500 grams
• White compound - 250 grams
• Cashew nuts - 2-3 tbsp
• Almonds - 2-3 tbsp
• Raisins - 2 tbsp
• Walnut- 10-12 tbsp
• Chocolate moulds

Chocolate is made by melting dark compound and white compound. Make small pieces of dark and white compound first. Take two bowls like this on which we can place two other bowls for melting chocolate. Take 1-1.5 cup water in utensil and place it on low flame for boiling. Above it place bowls filled with chocolate. When chocolate starts melting, stir it with a spoon. Keep the flame low as chocolate is very sensitive. If heated for long it may get overheated. Keep stirring at regular intervals until chocolate melts completely.

Take off the melted chocolate and place it on a cloth so that the moisture is soaked by the cloth. Let the chocolate get frigid. Stir it for 1-2 minutes with help of a spoon or add a little amount of unmelted chocolate into the melted chocolate.

Take a mould for moulding chocolate. Make sure it should be dry; there should not be any moisture on it. With help of spoon fill melted chocolate in the mould. Fill all the columns in the mould. Pat the mould on the surface so that it gets even. Place the mould in the freezer for 5-10 minutes, chocolate will be ready. Take out the mould from freezer, flip it over a plate and pat. If you are using rubber mould then push it from back, chocolate will come out easily. Chocolate is ready.
