LC milk chocolate bar recipe?

Does anyone have a lc milk chocolate recipe?
I was dabbling around with the bakers unsweetened chocolate which is
just too bitter for my liking.

I have tried the same thing, adding splenda and cream or butter to it, but
didn't have any success.

But actually melting the unsweetened chocolate then adding splenda, then
adding nuts and putting it on wax paper tastes good to me. It is a little
bitter, but I like it.

That's exactly what I did. Dam. I'll keep experimenting. I have this
yummy idea for something I'm calling Brick wall and snow balls lol.
But the chocolate part is gross. Does sugar free white chocolate
exist?
I'm thinking maybe add sugarfree chocolate pudding dry mix. That may
help. testing...........

White chocolate is cocoa butter and sugar. You can find cocoa butter
at natural foods stores, or sometimes in the expanded "natural" section
of large supermarkets. I buy jars of NOW cocoa butter, which is usually
found in the "natural" cosmetic section, although it is pure food grade
cocoa butter. The only problem is that it's as hard as baking chocolate,
and sold in a container resembling cold cream, so it has to be either
chipped out or melted out.

Lynne's original chocolate recipe is pretty dark, people who like milk
chocolate often add extra cream or some cream cheese. It also doesn't
taste as "dark" when mixed with nuts, especially chopped macadamias,
which seem sort of sweet.

Lynne's chocolate:
1 oz unsweetened chocolate
2 Tbsp cocoa butter or unsalted butter
(cocoa butter makes a firmer chocolate)
1 Tbsp heavy cream
1 tsp vanilla
8 packets sweetener or 1/3 cup splenda
(people who like milk chocolate sometimes like it sweeter, also)
1 ounce nut pieces of your choice (original recipe used macadamia)

Melt the chocolate and butter or cocoa butter in microwave. Blend in
the cream, vanilla and sweetener, mix in the nuts, pour into foil-lined
container and chill.

Note: The chocolate still mostly holds its shape when soft. If you heat
it until it pools it will be too hot and will separate from the other
ingredients during cooling.
