The average chocolate consumption per person in the UK every year is 11 kilograms, which actually makes the country the joint highest chocolate lover with the Swiss. In fact, 90% of all adults in the UK admit to eating chocolate regularly, but why? Chocolate offers one of the most luxury indulgences for a price that everybody can afford. As this is the case, sales of chocolate have continued to increase even during recent tough financial times.
With the above in mind, it is all too easy to get lazy with your choice of chocolate gifts if you are buying a present. Buying a box of chocolates and giving them away does not show much effort on your part. Just because chocolate gifts are simple, it does not mean that you cannot put some thought into them.
What is the solution?
The solution is very simple. If you buy personalised chocolate , it shows that you have put some thought into the gift. People love personalised chocolate mostly because it is unexpected. A personalised solution can contain a message that means something to your partner, and this can really make the difference.
With personalised chocolate wrappers , you can give your partner a tasty gift that they can also cherish and have as a keepsake as well. By putting in that extra effort and thinking outside the box you are showing the person that you are buying the gift for that care, and, at the same time you are still buying a quality chocolate gift that you know they will love.
In fact, personalised chocolate bars are ideal for a variety of events. As well as giving them as presents you could also give them away in party bags at childrens parties and even provide them at weddings for something a bit different.
Can Wilton Color Mist be used successfully on tempered chocolate confections?

I've been a chocoholic all my life, and for the last 10 years I've had a business in the jewelry making industry. Suddenly, some time ago, I realized that the food safe silicone molds we've been creating for many kinds of clays can be used for chocolates as well! I invite everyone to take a look at our "Flexi-mold" line on www.artclayworld.com . Instead of the $15.00 per unit price, anyone a member of The Chocolate Life can get molds at a cost of $7.50 with a $250 minimum order. That's 50% off!!

Just finished batch 6 a bean from Beliez i made a 70% dark it turned out great it is a pure chocolate not many undertones smooth and no after taste
Hi Everybody,
I am interested in making chocolate at home from scratch, from roasting the cocoa bean to the chocolate bar. I live in the United Kingdom. UK, but making chocolate here is not so well supported as in USA.
I think, I have found a source of cocoa beans on
e-bay(cocoaman)UK, and also giant juicer, I think can be purchased via e-bay as well. There seems to be many models, but most are available in the USA, are
there any cheaper alternatives to the giant juicer?
The last thing is the wet/dry grinder to remove any grittiness from the chocolate. I have found 3, models, but Im not sure if they are suitable, Premier, 1.5 L. wonder stone grinder, Premier, 2.0 L. table top compact stone wet grinder and the Butterfly, Matchless table top wet grinder, 2.0 L?
Also, I am looking for a good book on making Chocolate at home, from scratch, from cocoa beans to chocolate bar? Is there anybody that could help me? Any help, or suggestions would be very much appreciated!
