As for the issue of graininess I don’t know enough about either geology of how chocolate is made but I’m going to see what I can find out when I get chance.

Being a geologist I’m curious about how chocolate becomes smooth (or not in your case). Crystal size is based on cooling rate in rocks, so maybe it is in chocolate as well. To get it smooth the crystals need to be very small. small crystals are created by fast cooling……i.e. very warm molten chocolate into supercooled moulds. Any knowledgeable choco experts out there ?

Worth knowing too that you don’t need to add much flavour when making chocolate, makes me want to experiment with other chocolates and flavours.

At least you gave it a go, think I’ll stick to buying mine!
