Melt butters gently — cocoa butter scorches easily. Stick blend to medium trace. Gel phase recommended for full saponification.
Vanilla and cocoa absolute for a chocolate-truffle bar. Use vanilla stabilizer to prevent browning.
Uncolored or with cocoa powder (1 tsp/lb) for a warm brown. Titanium dioxide for a bright white contrast swirl.
6 weeks minimum. The high butter content benefits from a full 8-week cure for hardness.
