• Nut Crunch Chocolate - Place 1 cup of mixed nuts into the TM bowl before step 1 of method and crush for 3 minutes speed 5 - set aside then add at step 4 of method.
• Ginger Chocolate - place 1/2 cup of chopped crystalised ginger at step 4 of method or if you would like to use fresh ginger place 1 inch of peeled fresh ginger in the bowl at step 1 of the method
• Chili Chocolate - 1 tsp of chili flakes added at step 1 of the method, if you want it hotter add more.
• Berry Chocolate - If you have moulds place one blueberry in each mould and cover with the chocolate at step 5 of the method. You can use any berry it all depends on the size of the berry and the size of the mould.
• Orange Chocolate - 3 drops of orange essential oil added at step 4 of the method, you can also 1/2 cup of homemade orange marmalade at step 4 for extra taste.
• Fruit Chocolate - Any fruit, peeled and cut and cold then dip them in the chocolate, covering the whole fruit, place on a baking tray covered in baking paper, place in fridge and watch them become a favourite at any dinner party, if you can get them on the table before the kids find them in the fridge.
• Fruit and Nut - Add 1/4 cup oil free sultanas and 1/4 cup of chopped nuts at step 4
• Coffee Chocolate - Add 1/2 cup of slightly chopped roasted organic coffee beans at step 4 of method.
• Walnut chocolate - If you have moulds place 1/2 a walnut into the mould and cover with the chocolate at step 5 of the method. If you have larger moulds put the whole walnut in. My favourite.
• Rum and Raisin Chocolate - soak 1/2 cup of sultanas in 2 TBS rum, add at step 4 of the method but make sure you put your blade on reverse speed, otherwise you will lose all the rum out of the sultanas
• Coconut Rough Chocolate - my brothers favourite. Add 1 cup of organic desiccated coconut at step 4 of the method.
