Thank you Amber for being at Bramble Berry for two years. Amber does the Bramble Berry newsletters, the beautiful photos on the web site and sorts the info (at) brambleberry (dot) com email inbox. She’s a busy gal!
To celebrate her anniversary, I made chocolate from scratch last night.
Here is a huge chunk of cocoa butter, waiting to be melted. As you can see from its sad appearance, it needs some serious tempering.
Adding the powdered sugar was like adding flour to melted butter. It had a very similar consistency.
Cocoa Powder (and Vanilla Flavoring, double strength from Penzys) was integral to achieving the perfect taste.
After tempering for 15 minutes, I poured the entire yummy mixture into cups filled with either marshmallows or peanut butter cups.
The staff at Bramble Berry give this project a big Thumbs Up. There are barely any chocolates left!
