Date: March 07, 2011 04:22AM what kind of chocolate was used .... im thinking maybe the chocolate wasnt as pure as labled and perhaps cut with some softening ingredient .. like oil or something .... ...Jodi, the banana eating buddhist  Re: Chocolate will not get hard

Date: March 08, 2011 08:08PM 1/2 C Coconut oil
1/2 C Cacao powder 1/2 C Maple syrup (the more I use this the more I have found that it really compliments chocolate so well!) 1 tsp Vanilla extract 1/2 C Chopped almonds Re: Chocolate will not get hard

Date: March 08, 2011 08:11PM even in the freezer after I take it out it melts quickly----should I increase the coconut oil?
Or should I use cocoa butter? Re: Chocolate will not get hard

Date: March 08, 2011 08:23PM Cocoa butter is very hard at room temp... maybe try that. Are you following a recipe at all or just winging it? If you use a recipe that's got good review you might have more success. Check out the sunny raw blog, her stuff is usually delicious and gourmet. Re: Chocolate will not get hard

Date: March 08, 2011 08:40PM The maple syrup--it resists freezing, plus, that's a high proportion of liquid to solids, especially if the coconut oil is liquified. Try reducing the coconut oil, IMO. Good luck. Re: Chocolate will not get hard

Date: March 08, 2011 08:45PM I did a recipe where i liquified coconut oil recently, freezed and they stayed hard at room temperature.
Id say your right tamukha about the ratio of liquids to solids. Re: Chocolate will not get hard

Date: March 08, 2011 09:30PM I agree, all that maple syrup is probably a big part of it... although I agree, maple goes well with chocolate,lol --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Oh, mirror in the sky What is love?
