So while working on homework--well contemplating on how to start my essay, about nature and nurture and substance abuse/addictions, it occured to me to try this to make melted chocolate.
One zip up bag,
two handfulls of chocolate,
two small spoonfuls of sugar
and one spoonful of butter.
I put the chocolate in the zip up bag then chocolate, butter and sugar all in following that. Next it goes into the fridge while I wait for a pot to boil. That is what I am waiting on now. I don't want to put it in before hand, I am waiting for the water to boil.
So now Ive put it in the pot that is not boiling (i got impatient)
and wait a like 5 minutes, maybe less.
And I take it out and squish it, careful cuz it is hot and get this

Next, I cut a small corner of it it off and I just drew on plates.

I used milk chocolate. Next I plan on using white chocolate to see what I can do.
The chocolate is sweet, a lil oily because of the butter, but its good. I've put them both in the freezer. In like an hour or so, I will check them and see if they come off the plates easily.
They do stay on the plates, it takes a small bit of effort to take them off but they are good. The thing is, I forgot all about tempering the chocolate. It's all grainy and stuff. Don't get me wrong it, it was-is good. I have the plates in my fridge and take one off whenever i want some chocolate. But they are far from where I want to be.
Even though I dont really want to, I have to go buy a double boiler that is made for boiling chocolate. And I also want to get some candy molds. So, it was a good and bad experiences. Far from perfect, but there is no such thing as perfect. Imperfection is perfection.
So, good and bad.
Plus, it kinda melts the bag. I should warn whoever reads this, in case they decide to try it. That is actually the reason I pulled my bag out early. So, ehh, not bad for my first try.
