Create Colorful Homemade Chocolate Bars

Start by *melting the cocoa butter* and let it cool slightly. Mix with titanium dioxide to ensure the colors are vivid and rich. You will use this mixture as your base palette for coloring.

Begin painting the mold in layers. *Visualize your final product* and think about what you want to see in the first layer, second layer, and so on. Work patiently, ensure each layer stabilizes before moving to the next.

Make sure your workspace is at a suitable temperature, not exceeding *20 degrees Celsius* (68 degrees Fahrenheit) to expedite stabilization. If your area is warmer, allow more time for stabilization.

Add details like *eyes, noses, and hearts* in the first layer. Then, apply the main colors for faces, and clothing in subsequent layers. If you notice small imperfections, don’t worry! Once stabilized, reapply color to cover gaps.

If the cocoa butter mixture starts to harden, put it in the microwave for *10-15 seconds*. Continue this process to keep it workable.

Finish with thin layers to prevent a thick crust of color. Allow the form to fully stabilize by covering it with a film to avoid moisture contact. Ideally, leave it to stabilize *overnight*.

*Temper the chocolate* according to a suitable schedule and pour it into the decorated mold. Add your choice of toppings and allow it to stabilize completely.
