Recipe's preparation

  1. Make sure your bowl, blades, lid and lid seal are REALLY dry before you begin - water and chocolate don't mix!!!   1.  
    Grind Rapadura and vanilla bean in Thermomix on speed 9 for 1 minute, until as fine as possible -
    you might have to scrape it down a couple of times with the spatula. (If using vanilla extract or paste, you can add it with the salt and any other flavourings at the end.) Remove to a bowl and set aside.2.  Place cacao butter in Thermomix bowl and melt at 37 degrees for 20 minutes on speed 1, until mostly melted.
    3.  Add Rapadura & vanilla to bowl and continue cooking at 37 degrees, 10 - 20 minutes, speed 1.4.
     Add cacao powder to bowl and combine on speed 6 until well mixed,
    scrape down sides, then continue to stir at 37 degrees, speed 1, for
    another 20 minutes.5.  Add salt and any flavourings you want (zest, peppermint oil, cinnamon) and continue to stir on 37 degrees, speed 1, for another 10 minutes, or until smooth.6.
     Prepare a large rectangular tray/dish lined with baking paper and pour
    the chocolate in - it should be quite thin.  If you'd like nuts or fruit
    in your chocolate, sprinkle them over the paper, then pour chocolate
    over the top.  Place in the fridge to set (or freezer if you're like me
    and don't want to wait!).

Tip

The longer you let the chocolate stir on 37 degrees, the more smooth it will be.  So if you like you can add more time to the stirring.  If you look at my photos, you'll see the difference - the almond chocolate was stirred for about 40 mins, and the plain one was stirred for an hour or so.

Once you stop the Thermomix, tip the chocolate out immediately and rinse bowl, or it will set in there and be very hard to clean!
