Made a batch of Chocolate, around 4 lbs. probably. I think this recipe will end up being 3 Gallon sized Ziplocks because I added so much stuff to it... I like to keep it around 65% because I don't use straight up Sugar. I could increase it to 75% Dark if I used Sugar, but I don't think that would work with the Fruit Sugars. The variable is Maple, first time using it.

I put in 50g of Maple to start, but after 4 Hours I couldn't distinguish it, so added another 50g. I haven't tested it since, so I don't know how good it turned out. The refining process filled the room with Vanilla / Maple scents, so I thought it would be all good. I ran the refiner for 24 Hours.
The recipe will be good no matter what because of everything I add, but getting Vanilla Beans is hit and miss, so I will have to find a reliable source if it's something I do moving forward. Everything else is readily available.
