Original recipe serves 8. Current scale: 1x.
I stole this recipe from a publication called Gelatinas, put out by a company who sell gelatin in Mexico. Since I'm a total chocoholic I had to try it. It came out quite nicely, if you love milk chocolate. I'm going to fiddle with it to make it more like dark chocolate, but in the meantime need to post this to be the base for future experimentation. The molds were OK, but next time I would pour it into pretty glasses, top it with more cocoa powder.
