Chocolate question

[Rosalm]

Dumb question probably but I don't really know what to do. I want to buy a
fairly large block of chocolate and melt it to fit a mold. While it's
melted, what can I mix in to make it less denser so it will cut with a knife
easily?

I think I said that right and I hope you all got it...

OK, that's what my wife said as well but it didn't make sense to me. But two
outta three ain't bad...

Thanks :-)

Whipping cream added to melted chocolate will make a softer chocolate
(ganache) that will cut and melt more easily after it re-hardens. If
you want it to continue to be solid chocolate with no other fillings,
I'd experiment with proportions to find what works best for your
project. I'd start with one part cream to three parts chocolate and
see how it goes. If you're looking for something to add texture to the
chocolate, you could use cookie crumbs or finely chopped nuts.

I vote for cream. Rice Krispies would have a different effect.

I love cooking with wine.
Sometimes I even put it in the food.

Well, thanks for the info. Guess the best thing would be to try a couple of
small ones of each but the cream does make more sense. This sort of thing
I'm really not up on so a little help is always appreciated...

Thanks again
