I wanted to know if anyone had a recipe to make a creamy chocolate bar like godiva or hershey's symphony? I'm also confused on what temperature I should heat the chocolate to get it to harden into a candy bar. I read somewhere that I should heat it to 110 F then let it cool to 84 F then heat it to 88 F then pour it into mold. I used this using a double boiler and it never hardened. It made pudding. They were saying this for the chocolate, not the water. They said to heat the water to 140-150, then replace it with 70 degree water, then replace it with 100 degree water. Other places also say this. I did mix the chocolate with sugar and milk and some cream after I melted the chocolate. This may be the problem. I was using semisweet chocolate and wanted it to be milk chocolate. Perhaps I was suppose to heat it all together. Anyways any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Deborah

Hi Deborah, Below is a recipe I found on www.recipesource.com for chocolate candy. You can find almost anything you want if you go to a specific site - or even just on the search line with your browser! There are many more, too!!!!! Also you might want to try the Hershey's site.? I hope this helps!
