Well, I tried something the other day. And it didn't turn out quite as planned. Pretty simple but, I'm no chef so.
I used cocoa powder, sweet n low, and skim milk, in a sauce pan. Only warmed it up, should have heated more, and then poured it into a pan. Well I put it in the freezer to hopefully speed up the hardening process but, it never really hardened. It's more of a hard fudge.

Any ideas what I should do to actually make the chocolate harden like a chocolate bar?

Maybe heat it more, since I only warmed it?

I know this is crazy but, I love chocolate, and still being on my diet, I need to perfect the perfect homemade low cal chocolate =D

I don't think it will ever harden without cocoa butter - which has been removed from thecacao to give you your cocoa powder. And, if you added cocoa butter, you'd have to keep your ingredients in dried form - the liquid milk will cause it to seize and "harden" in a way you don't want. Good dark chocolate should only run you about 150 calories an ounce; you're better off adjusting your diet and eating that in moderation than trying to adjust chocolate to your diet.

Two changes we made with the chocolate is that this time we winnowed the chocolate. This time we didn't use a blow dryer to melt the chocolate. Two improvements with the chocolate is that the melanger didn't get clogged this time and everyone put in work.
