I also ground the nibs for longer and kept the mortar and pestle warm for longer. Then I tempered and poured into some moulds I have.
The quantity, as you may have guess, is more again. This time I got a tray of shaped chocolates (rocket, flower, heart, squares etc) and a small block.
And it tastes better again. So happy!
Easter chocolate is possible now. Though my arm is again about to drop off...
I used a different arrangement of mortar and pestle after grinding in the grinder so that I had a greater surface area to work with.
When the chocolate became more liquid switched over to this arrangement so I could keep my hands clean (otherwise the chocolate would be all over my hands and not in being ground at all).
I added goat's milk and mixed it in until smooth (those are bubbles).
Tampering. The photo is a bit dodgy as my arm is shaking...
