I am 60, I am #Vegan, and I just learned how to make chocolate from scratch.

This has been kept from us. It is eye-blinkingly easy. The effort : reward ratio is beyond what you can imagine, because everything you can imagine starts and ends with chocolate.

Nestlé, Hershey, Mars you motherfuckers, now I know Kung Fu.

Edit: Adding the recipe I started with. Sorry I didn’t put it here in the first place, we learn. https://www.asaucykitchen.com/homemade-chocolate-with-cocoa-butter/#mv-create-recipe

Learn how easy it is to make homemade chocolate with only 3 ingredients needed: cocoa butter, cocoa powder and a sweetener of your choice.

I've just been looking aswell and that seems to be the only best option. Although we have Holland & Barrett in the UK, but they seem to have discontinued their two options.

@TheBreadmonkey @just_me_gi @Dave_Goldsmith Late here, sorry: If it works where you are: nuts.com is amazing for this and all things adjacent, just market rate unless you buy a lot at once.
