Does any one have the recipe for homemade chocolate? I had it years ago and it's lost. It contains powdered milk, icing sugar (perhaps called powdered sugar in the USA) ,cocoa, and solid shortening (called 'Copha' here). You can also add coconut. Those are ingredients but the proportions I've quite forgotten! Obviously its not as smooth as commercial chocolate, but it tastes good, is fairly economical, and satisfies that "Must have chocolate" urge.
Thank you,
Ellie from Melbourne Australia

Add bran to milk and let soak 5 minutes. Cream shortening and sugar. Add beaten egg and beat until smooth. Add bran mixture. Add dry ingredients. Stir only enough to mix. Bake at 400 degrees F for 25 minutes.
You can use Wheaties, Grape Nuts, or Bran Flakes. A good way to use up GrapeNuts that are toasted too hard.

This is a decadent appetizer for a party. Easy but impressive and delicious
Slice large end of garlic bulbs, drizzle olive oil over cut ends and place in garlic roaster (or enclosed in aluminium foil inside a small casserole). Bake at 350 degrees F for 1 hour. Wrap brie round in aluminium foil and bake for last 20 minutes. Place both on platter, surrounded with sliced baguette and fruit and knives for spreading.
The garlic may be roasted ahead of time and reheated for the same time as the brie (20 minutes). Lemon juice may be used to stop the sliced fruit from browning. I get my brie rounds at Costco, for much less than the regular grocery store prices.
