Very tasty results

Moderator here. This technically violates the self promotion rule cuz it links to a site. But I'm allowing it because it's a high quality reference.

So no reporting please.

Holy gracious smokes... These are ineffably magnificent...
Thank you very much for the marvel, art you do...

One of the most interesting parts is that it's absolutely safe! It's not dye or another edible ingredients, but a physical microstructure on the surface! They likely used forms (e.g. molds) of some sort with microscopic shapes where chocolate fills up, crystalizes, and voila! The micro shape on the surface of the chocolate now is able to diffract light, relatively similar to how CD/DVD do, as in dear miracles...

Are you not going to share the reciepe??? Have you SEEN the world lately??? We could all use a bit of chocolate right now.

[–] YetiBeets@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

At the bottom of the page is the recipe. Although specialized equipment necessary is a bit of an understatement

Ohh nice. What type of grinder are you using? Like brand, model, etc. if you don't mind.
