Tips (ಸಲಹೆ):

 * If you do not like the smell of coconut oil, you can replace it with cocoa butter or plain butter but it will not be harder as prepared using coconut oil

 * Chocolate will melt if it is exposed to room temperature

 * If you do not have mould, regular tray or plate can be used. Once the chocolate becomes little hard, it can be cut into pieces using a knife

 * ತೆಂಗಿನ ಎಣ್ಣೆಯ ಪರಿಮಳ ಇಷ್ಟವಾಗದವರು ಕೋಕೋ ಬೆಣ್ಣೆ | ಬೆಣ್ಣೆಯನ್ನು ಬಳಸಬಹುದು, ಆದರೆ ಬೆಣ್ಣೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಮಾಡಿದ ಚಾಕಲೇಟ್ ತೆಂಗಿನ ಎಣ್ಣೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಮಾಡಿದಷ್ಟು ಗಟ್ಟಿಯಾಗಿ ಬರುವುದಿಲ್ಲ

 * ಸಾಮಾನ್ಯ ತಾಪಮಾನದಲ್ಲಿ ಚಾಕಲೇಟ್ ಬೇಗನೆ ಕರಗಿ ನೀರಾಗುತ್ತದೆ

 * ಚಾಕಲೇಟ್ ಹಾಕಲು ಅಚ್ಚು ಇಲ್ಲದಿದ್ದರೆ ಒಂದು ತಟ್ಟೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಹಾಕಿ, ಸ್ವಲ್ಪ ಗಟ್ಟಿಯಾದ ಮೇಲೆ, ಒಂದು ಚೂರಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಬೇಕಾದ ಆಕೃತಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಕತ್ತರಿಸಿಕೊಳ್ಳಿ
