Homemade Chocolates

Easy and simple recipe...
Ingredients

Sugar: 1/2 Cup
Milk Powder: 1/2 Cup
Water: 1/2 Cup
Coco Powder: 2 Table Spoon
Butter: 2 Table Spoon
Vanilla Essence: 1/4 Tea Spoon

Cooking Time: 10 Minutes
Method

To a bowl add milk powder and coco powder and combine well
Keep your chocolate mould handy
To a pan add sugar and water and boil it until it reaches one string consistency
Reduce the flame to the lowest possible and add coco powder and milk powder.
Stir continuously and let it heat for a minute and then switch off the flame
Add butter and vanilla essence and combine well
Let it cool a bit and then pour it to a mixer or food processor and beat it well
Do not let the chocolate cool completely.  It should be hot while beating, else it will harden and you will not get a good texture.
Pour it to chocolate moulds immediately and let it cool down well
Keep it in fridge for some time and then remove from moulds and use
Note:
If you wish to you can add any chopped nuts of your choice.
You need to be very quick.  After adding milk powder and coco powder do not heat for more than a minute.
Be careful while beating it in a mixer as the chocolate is hot and you might get hurt.
How to check one thread consistency of sugar syrup
When the sugar syrup is boiling dip a wooden spatula in the syrup and then remove it
Wait for a few seconds and then touch the sugar syrup on the spatula with your forefinger and then slowly touch the forefinger with your thumb and then pull apart gently
If you see a single thread is formed without breaking then the sugar syrup has achieved the correct texture
