Do we need to include the vanilla extract.


thumps up if you started to get hugery for chcolat. by watching this video.


is it just me but when they said sharp knife you couldn’t see it


@memory123100 Yeah. I think that portion is self explanatory.
I think they just mean to wash your hands AGAIN since you’ll be handling the chocolate, and there’s no way to cook off the bacteria. :p


DO NOT USE CHOCOLATE CHIPS!!! They typically have additives to keep their shape at high heats

Do you know Cognac is actually a croatian drink and it has the worst hangover
