Chocolate!

Jared finally purchased a wet grinder for his new hobby. He loves to make it and I love to decorate with it and dip with it. The kids (and I) love to eat it too. He starts with the dry cocoa beans and roasts them in our oven, then he adds cocoa butter, lecithin and powdered milk (optional) to the mix and grinds it for 20-36 hours. We dipped strawberries with our first experimental batch and then added the leftover to make Winnie the Pooh in a cake mold pan. Next step, somehow temper the chocolate to make it more stable.
