1
Melt Cocoa Butter
In a heatproof bowl, add the cocoa butter. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method) and allow it to melt completely, stirring occasionally to ensure even melting.
2
Combine Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, milk powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
3
Mix Ingredients
Once the cocoa butter is melted, remove it from heat. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the melted cocoa butter, stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
4
Add Vanilla
Stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
5
Add Optional Ingredients
If desired, mix in the chopped nuts or dried fruit for added texture and flavor.

6
Pour into Molds
Pour the chocolate mixture into silicone molds or a parchment-lined baking dish, spreading it evenly.
7
Chill
Place the molds in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or until the chocolate has fully set.

8
Remove from Molds
Once set, carefully remove the chocolate from the molds. If using a baking dish, cut the chocolate into squares.
9
Enjoy
Serve the milk chocolate as a sweet treat or gift it to friends and family.
