Notes

  1. Use a mix of semi-sweet and dark chocolate to get best taste. If you like your cocoa slightly bitter use only dark chocolate.
  2. You can substitute powdered sugar with condensed milk.
  3. Silicon molds are best as it’s easy to pull off the chocolate once set. You can also use ice cube trays. Use disposable one serving yogurt pot. Grease with flavorless oil and fill it ⅔ full.
  4. I used silicon mold with each squares measuring 3.5cmx3.5cm.
  5. You’ll need VERY hot milk for the cocoa block to melt. Use large mug, stir vigorously until melted. Hot water won’t taste good for this hot chocolate sticks.
