PROJECT CHOCOLATE~

Made with Sweet Pea's love <3

I call today's adventure in the kitchen...PROJECT CHOCOLATE~

[insert dramatic music here]

WARNING: THE END RESULT IS NOT CHOCOLATE, I REPEAT, NOT CHOCOLATE, JUST SIMPLE AVERAGE QUICK TO MAKE CANDY (so please don't make nasty comments on how it's not chocolate, or how it's misleading...it's merely my attempt to create something that tastes like chocolate)

I always wanted to try making some quick 'n' simple white chocolate, since I heard that the lower end of white chocolate can be made with veggie oil or other fat substitute, so today I did--on a whim. Whimsical Sweet Pea, makes chocolates whenever the mood hits~

I looked around on the internet, and came up with a general recipe:

2 oz vegetable shortening

1/3 c powdered sugar

1/2 tsp powdered milk

dash of vanilla

Note: This is my own recipe that I made after browsing through a few other recipes and deciding how I wanted my chocolate to turn out, also, it's not really chocolate...if you try the recipe and post about it, please link to this post :)

Step 1: Heat up shortening in microwave for 1 minute, and then 30 seconds (and cover it)

Step 2: Stir in sugar and powdered milk until relatively smooth

The result of step 2--I stirred with a knife

Step 3: Wait a little for it to cool until it's no longer steaming hot, but still liquid-like and then pour into your mold (actually, I spooned mine in)

All poured, be sure to work fast

Here's a close up!! [Silicon mold]

Step 4. Once cooled completely, pop 'em out!!

Finished Product!! Yum! (it tasted far from chocolate :/ but still tasted pretty good :] )

Maybe this should have been candy on a budget? XP

And about the bubble tea...
