How to make Chocolates?

Chocolates... Those dark little chocolate pieces, melting in our mouth, giving us instant energy, making us feel good... I simply love chocolates in any form and any flavour from fruit & nut, orange peel, crackles, melted chocolates to even chocolate filled pastries.

It was during one of my birthdays (way back in 1990s), I was gifted a dappa (box) of home-made chocolate. They didn't have any particular shape, but tasted divine. I got the recipe from the aunty so that I could make them one day. It wasn't until 2008 before I started making them. The recipe is very simple.
