Home made Chocolates

Ingredients needed

Sweetened Condensed milk -400 grams
Unsalted Butter -100 grams
Cocoa powder -6 tsp
Sugar -6 tsp
Liquid Glucose - 1/4 tsp
Milk - little

Preparation

Dissolve liquid glucose in 2-3 tsp of cold water nicely.

Mix cocoa powder in a little milk and keep it aside.

Grease a plate and keep it aside.

Method

Take a kadai or pan and mix all the ingredients well first. (condensed milk, cocoa powder mixed with milk, butter, sugar and liquid glucose )

Then lit the flame and keep on stirring it on medium flame until it leaves the sides of the pan. Look at the picture below. The important point to be noted here is that the dough should not stick to your hands.

Then put it on a greased plate to cool. After it cools a little, scoop it in a spoon and put them in slightly greased heart moulds or any other mould and press it nicely. Leave it for an hour to set. (Plastic moulds of different shapes are available in the market for making chocolates )

How to make Nutties 
(If you do not have plastic moulds, you can make nutties)

Blanch and roast almonds. (Put them in hot water, remove the skin, dry it well and roast it slightly)

Take a small amount of dough, flatten it in your hands, place half an almond inside it and roll it into a smooth ball. You will get chocolate nutties.

Go one more step further if you like- Roll them in coarsely powdered cashew nuts to make it even more delicious.

Or you can insert a plastic lolly pop stick to the nutties and make chocolate lollipops.

Note - It will set in room temperature and need not be refrigerated and it will not melt if kept outside. It has a self life of 10 days.
