Chocolates are all time favourite be it young or old.Any dish with chocolate taste is sure to go for several servings without any restrictions.This recipe which I learnt from my MIL is one amoung the very few most wanted one for everyone in my house.This is one dish which is over in a jiffy when made in large quantities also.The making of this HOME MADE CHOCOLATE is still my MIL's entity(one way Iam happy too)and I help her by getting things ready....

Ingredients
Amulya milk powder-500gms
Sugar-1kg
White butter-400gms(approx)
Cocoa powder-8tsps(heaped)
Nuts of choice-as required

Method
Take sugar in a heavy bottomed vessel and pour water till the sugar just submerges
Keep stirring till thick consistency,that is when you drop the syrup in a small bowl of water we should be able to make a soft ball.
Keep checking for this stage.Remove from fire
Add milk powder little by little and stir continously to avoid lumps
To this add butter and keep stirring ,add cocoa powder and stir till smooth
Add nuts of your choice or even plain
Grease a tray with butter and pour the mixture spreading it evenly
Refrigerate till little hard so that it can be cut to required shapes

Note
Keep checking the sugar syrup for the correct consistency
Add butter only till the mixture does'nt stick to the sides of the vessel

Variation
If you want white chocolate do not add cocoa powder
You can also pour the mixture in chocolate moulds
