Here is three types of Homemade Chocolate Bar:
HOMEMADE BARS (LIKE SNICKERS庐)
14 oz. pkg. lite caramels
2/3 c. condensed sweetened milk, divided in half
1 German chocolate cake mix
3/4 c. melted butter
1 c. chopped nuts
1 c. semi-sweet chocolate bits (6 oz.)
Melt caramels and 1/3 cup condensed milk. Set aside. In double boiler, combine cake mix, butter, nuts and remaining 1/3 cup condensed milk; stir thoroughly until mixture is well combined and crumbly. Press 1/2 the dough into greased 13x9 inch pan. Bake at 350 degrees 6 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle chocolate bits evenly over baked dough, then spread melted caramel mixture on top...work quickly!
Crumble remaining 1/2 of dough over caramels and press lightly. Return to oven. Bake at 350 degrees for 14 to 18 minutes until top is set and pulls away from sides of pan. Cool on a wire rack, then refrigerate until firm. Cut into 24 squares.

Homemade Chocolate L盲rabars
- 50 grams (1 3/4 ounces) date paste, diced (see note)
- 100 grams (3 1/2 ounces) mixed nuts (I used a mix that includes Brazil nuts, pistachios, cashews, almonds, and hazelnuts)
- the seeds from 2 green cardamom pods
- 100 grams (3 1/2 ounces) Medjool dates (about 4), pitted (if these are unavailable, substitute regular dried dates, or use all date paste)
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- a good pinch salt
- 1 rounded tablespoon cacao nibs (not chocolate covered)
Makes 5 or 6 bars.
In the bowl of a sturdy blender or food processor, combine the diced date paste, nuts, and cardamom, and process in short pulses until the nuts are chopped to small bits (but not powdered) and blended with the paste. Add the rest of the ingredients and process in short pulses until the mixture comes together.
Grease the bottom and sides of a small rectangular container (I use this small, 18 x 12.5 cm / 7-by-5-inch baking dish, but you could also use a recycled takeout container of these approximate dimensions) with vegetable oil. Turn the date mixture out into the container, cover with a piece of parchment paper or recycled food wrapper (this is to prevent the mixture from sticking to your hand and spoon) and pack the mixture down using your hand and then the back of the spoon, in order to fill the container in a smooth, even layer.
Transfer to the fridge to set for a few hours or preferably overnight, then slice into five or six bars, or the number of servings you prefer. They will keep in the refrigerator, covered, for about a week. Use the same piece of parchment paper to wrap the bar you want to take with you, then save and reuse it to wrap the other bars on subsequent days. You could also consider buying one of those 眉ber-cute reusable snack bags.
Note: Date paste can be found at natural foods stores, or in North African or Middle Eastern shops. If the paste seems dry and hard, cut it into slices and soak for an hour in a little cold water to soften, turning every now and then. Drain well before using (save the date water to use in smoothies, breads, or sorbets).How do i make a bar of chocolate at home?
You'll need cocoa butter as well, it can be bought in the supermarket where I live. I don't know it that's the case worldwide.
And you'll need an emulator, like soy-lechitin, but it's hard to find. So chocolate-making is pretty hard to do it at home. Without the emulator, I think it's going to be more of a paste than a solid bar.How do i make a bar of chocolate at home?
Don't bother. Here's a funny book that will explain why:
