  • Question
    I don't have coconut oil or cocoa butter. What can I use as a substitute?
    Community Answer
    Go to the store and buy some. You can't really make this recipe without one of these essential ingredients. Other oils don't harden well so they can't really be used as a substitute.

    Can artificial sweetener such as Stevia be used to make dark chocolate candy?
    Community Answer
    Stevia can be used, but make sure not to use too much because Stevia is 100 to 200 times sweeter than sugar.

    Do I have to use cocoa butter?

    No, but you can use cocoa butter as an lotion. Also you can consume it or use it in your hair, which will cause it to become softer and more healthy.

    Yes, but the chocolate will have a slightly different taste and texture if you do that. Many prefer using coconut oil, but it’s completely up to you.

    No, it is not. It definitely does enhance the flavour though, you may find it a bit plain without the extract.
