Homemade Chocolate

All members of the family were at home that day. Constant rain was falling throughout the day. There was a cricket match of the world cup at that time. My family loves watching cricket so all of the members have come in front of the television with their sources of getting warm. My sister bought her bedsheet with her. Mine was my teddy and also the bedsheet. It was like a mess in the living room but it was okay since no one would come in that heavy rain.

I was feeling like eating something. My sister had felt the same too. But we were attracted to the match so much that we didn't want to spend much time on that. And when we discussed that we got to know that we both had felt like eating chocolate but were too lazy to go to the shop in that heavy rain.

Suddenly, my sister remembered that we can make chocolate at home. And we had the necessary ingredients; cocoa powder, icing sugar, margarine and vanilla essence. We watched some youtube videos and they said that the things we had were enough. If there was milk powder we can use that too. But we didn't have. So we skipped it.

We double-boiled the margarine and melted that. And added icing sugar, and cocoa powder and made a thick mixture. Vanilla essence was added at the end. Finally, it was flattened in a tray and kept in the refrigerator for some time. There are plenty of videos on youtube if you are interested.

The chocolate came nicely and tastily. It would be much tastier if we used some more things like milk powder, chocolate chips and peanuts. This is not good as the chocolate we bought from shops. These are melting when we got them out of the refrigerator. But homemade ones are also tasty.

We made some lines on them with a knife. If you have different moulds, you can use them to have these in different shapes. But we used a small tray.

We ate them while watching the match. We lost the match but at least we had some chocolates to eat on that rainy day.
