Hi can farm milk (not out of a bottle / carton) be used to make chocolate instead of the whole powder milk. Has any body any links to the history of the humble bar of chocolate ? When it was made ? Was liquid milk not used in earlier processes ?

Hi can farm milk (not out of a bottle / carton) be used to make chocolate instead of the whole powder milk. I don't think you will have luck making milk chocolate with fresh milk. A little bit of water in your chocolate will cause it to seize, and a lot of water will turn it into a beverage. Maybe you could just make dark chocolate and add it to the milk as a drink? Milk chocolate is fairly recent, coming from the late 1800's. So far as I know it has always used a form of dried or condensed milk. If you are up for an adventure, you might have luck trying to condense your milk down to milk crumb and using that. Check out Minifie's 'Chocolate, Cocoa, and Confectionary' for details. You can search for "minifie milk-crumb" on Google and read the relevant pages online if you are interested. Minifie is fabulous if you are interested in chocolate production and not scared of details. As for things you can read online, your search is probably as good as mine. But here's a 1920's classic you might not find to get you started: www.gutenberg.org/files/19073/19073-h/19073-h.htmSometimes the old books are fun to mine for technique. Good luck!

You're going to have to get basically all the water out before adding to chocolate. This is how it has always been.
