Theobroma Cacao Greek for Food of the Gods. And that is the name of the tree which gives us the celestial confection called Chocolate. Chocolate starts its journey from a tiny blossom on a tropical tree. Several complex steps later, it ends up in your hands as something, that is more than a food, less than a drug.
Although chocolate making might seem tough, its actually very easy to master. Simple household items can be used as equipment for chocolate making. What goes into chocolate recipes? The raw materials used in making hand made chocolates ranges from the usual suspects like chocolate, cream, nuts, butter, and eggs to the more adventurous stuff like herbs and liqueurs. Using easily available chocolate making moulds, one can give shape to their hearts desire. Chocolates from households adorn bakeries in various forms like chocolate cakes, chocolate brownies and sundry other confectioneries.
