Answer 1

You can't do what you want to do, which is (I think) to make eating chocolate using cocoa and other ingredients. The reason is because of the different manners in which cocoa and chocolate are made. Chocolate is "conched," which is to say, the cocoa beans and other ingredients are gently stirred and sort of smashed between devices that look sort of like shells, thus, "conches." The chocolate can be conched in this manner for days, creating a very smooth consistency.

Cocoa doesn't get the same treatment. The chocolate nibs are roasted and ground, and the cocoa butter is pressed out, leaving behind a dry powder. You would need a factory and a few food chemists to turn it back into something resembling chocolate.

However, you can make fudge with cocoa. This would give you some of the consistency and much of the flavor of chocolate. This, I think, is your best path.

Cocoa Fudge

2/3 c. cocoa
3 c. sugar
1/8 tsp. salt
1 1/2 c. milk
1/4 c. butter
1 tsp. vanilla

Mix dry ingredients well in a heavy 4 quart saucepan; stir in milk. Bring to a bubbly boil on medium heat, stirring constantly. Boil without stirring to 234 degrees (soft ball stage). Bulb of candy thermometer should not rest on bottom of saucepan. Remove from heat add butter and vanilla. Do not stir. Cool at room temperature to 110 degrees. Beat until fudge thickens and loses some of its gloss. Quickly spread in a lightly buttered 8 or 9 inch square pan. Cool. 3 dozen squares.

You may think this is a fussy recipe, but working with real chocolate is much fussier. The reason for the specific temperatures and the beating, are to make certain you have the right sized sugar crystals for a smooth textured fudge.

All you have to do is find some good quality chocolate bars ( Lindt, Bakers, Ghiradelli) in the baking aisle of your grocery store. Then you would melt them in a heat-proof bowl over a pot of barely simmering water. Do you have a thick glass bowl or stainless steel bowl that is big enough to sit on top of the rim of your saucepan? You only need to put less than half full of water and set the heat on meduim-low. Chop your chocolate into smaller pieces, put them in the bowl, set your bowl on top of the pan of water, and stir. It takes a few minutes, but you have to do it this way to make sure you don't burn the chocolate. You can mix some nuts, liquors, butter, coconut, cereal, mint extract, etc. and refrigerate to harden. I make small piles of the chocolate mixtures on a baking sheet lined with parchment or wax paper, then put it in the fridge to set up. Here are some useful websites on making your own candy. Have fun and Happy Halloween!

Actually - you'd trying to "reconstitute" the coco powder. In other words working backwards.

Coco powder is the solid flavoring component removed from the chocolate liquer (roasted, crushed coco beans mashed & processed).

Chocolate liquer goes through several steps to make chocolate or gets separated into coco butter & coco powder.

You can buy chocolate that can be melted & molded or used to coat candy fillings.

Cocoa Pebbles. rely Chocula and Coco Puffs was once terrific of their very own way, yet then somebody got here alongside and changed them in small tactics so as that they don't type virtually as stable to any quantity added.
