Chocolate from Brazil. Moroccan flavors, and vanilla from Madagascar. Old men in robes with bad haircuts, deep in the heart of a monastery, with precious "dark gold". You know what I'm talking about, that super expensive, yet gloriously delicious chocolate bars that you get from the "foodie" store. Well, what if I said you can make your own concoctions, easily, with good ol' bulk chocolate chips from Sam's club. Try some of these recipes, you will feel like a master chocolatear.
Follow recipe above, but remove the oil and nuts. Instead put 1 tbsp of fresh rosemary in the mixture, and on top put a couple of sprigs, and some coarse salt on top.
1 tbsp of butter
1 cup of chocolate chips, (I use nestle of Godiva)
2-3 drop of peppermint oil
1/4 cup of chopped hazelnuts
melt the butter in a skillet on medium heat, then put the chips in, turn the burner down to med-low, and stir the chips continuously till melted, take off heat, and add in the oil and hazelnuts. Put spoonfuls on a plate or in molds, (you can even get candy bar molds) and place in the freezer for 30 min to 1hr.

Try putting some currents and cranberries in the mixture.
Make it feel authentic with some cinnamon and cayenne pepper.
There are so many things that you can try, like adding some cocoa nibs, or coffee, whatever you want, go for it.
