i’ve been looking up ways of making homemade chocolate but it all seems quite epensive. I’m not really willing to devote lots of money to it as i only want to make a few batches of chocolate. Does anyone know any cheaper ways[?]

It’s been my experience that to make finished chocolate that you’ll really be satisfied by at home you will need to invest in some equipment (probably around $300-400usd), but other than that it’s not an expensive process (if you discount the value of your time :-)

Of course, if you just want to make a rough chocolate, all you really need is a way to roast and a mortar and pestle–very back to basics, and that can be a nice experience as well!

Eleven years old Amy Singh made her own real chocolate bar using budget equipment.
You could be inspired by her presentation at the NY Chocolate Show:

That is a fantastic presentation, and hobnobbing with Pierrick and Robert is not a bad start! :-)

Here’s another site for the home chocolate maker that has some good info and interesting methods:
