    Hi, just found a sugar free chocolate recipe that you might like.
    125grams copha
    50grams cocoa
    30grams full milk powder
    80 to 100grams dextrose ( I used 90)
    you can add nuts, vanilla, coconut or anything else you like

    mix dry ingredients together, then add melted copha.
    put in baking paper lined baking dish. Pop in the fridge to set.
     Yummy!!

    I think if it had something different besides copha in it I'd be tempted.  I've heard some bad things about copha.

    You could just use coconut oil.

    Copha is hydrogenated coconut oil, so it's a bad trans-fat.

    Copha is what makes it set, I think using coconut oil would make it too runny, making it more like a sauce. I dont know of anything else that would make the chocolate firm.
    I have  found out that you can use cocoa butter in chocolate making (pure vegetable fat, 100% cholesterol free and vegan) but dont know where to buy it from as of yet.

    Hi, Nadine, I looked it up too, and it's 98% saturated fat, so, no, it's definitely not good for you!!

    Now I know why I avoided it all these years since I came to Oz.

    Hi silver Angel,

    Coconut oil may be saturated fat, but it is good saturated fat.  We eat heaps of organic virgin coconut oil. We don't eat copha though as it is hydroginated coconut oil.
    Just google the benefits of coconut oil, it is full of goodness. Here is one article http://www.organicfacts.net/organic-oils/organic-coconut-oil/health-benefits-of-coconut-oil.html
