You could perfectly make any shape of your wish. Add sugar as per your taste. In my recipe I have added just a correct amount of sugar as it won't go bitter or go too much sweet. You can store the chocolate in fridge in a air tight container. It would last for a week when refrigerated. Surprise your kids with homemade chocolates.

Butter - 2 tablespoon

Almond/Badam - for topping

Method

• In a vessel take 2 cups of milk powder and 6 tablespoon of coco powder. Mix them thoroughly. When I was doing it, I found little lumps, so I just blended it using a blender and the mixture was free from lumps. Otherwise you can also sieve the mixture to get rid of lumps.
  
  
  
• Take half a cup of sugar in a thick bottomed vessel/pan/kadai. To dissolve the sugar add just enough water to the pan. I added 3/4 cup of water.
  
  
• Place the pan in the medium heat/flame and occasionally stir until the sugar dissolves completely.
  
• When sugar syrup starts boiling, add the milk powder and coco powder mixture to the syrup and mix it thoroughly. At this point lower the heat. Mix it thoroughly.
  
• It would come to a thick paste like consistency. Now add two tablespoon of butter and mix it thoroughly. Stir it continuously till the butter melts completely and blends with chocolate.
  
  
• Keep stirring for another 4 to 5 min.
  
• Grease a tray with butter and transfer the prepared chocolate to the tray. Spread it nicely. Top it with broken almond or any dry fruits/nuts as you wish.
  
  
• Keep the chocolate in fridge for at least 3 hours.
• After removing it from fridge, wait for at least 15 min and start cutting them into desired shapes. I just made normal squares. 
• Serve yummy chocolates, surprise your family and kids.
  

      Note:

• Use a blender to blend the coco powder and milk powder. You can also sieve the mixture before using it for cooking. Optionally, you can also sieve the powdered mixture after blending.
• Use any dry nuts of your choice for toppings. You can also add them at the last stage - mix it to the whole chocolate mixture, like we do in other sweets.
• You can also add a teaspoon of vanilla extract for extra taste.
