"I'm not certain where I got this recipe from, but after making it, I did change the order of a few things as I ran into the same trouble as others. Once the recipe was altered a bit, it turned out much better."

This is one of those recipes where I had a preconceived idea of what I was making, and was so wrong! I ended up altering the recipe to a point where I can't really rate it with stars. I am still baffled as to how I can in step 6, cool to room temp, and then in 7, stir till creamy. Once my chocolate was at a soft ball stage and starts to cool, it hardens.....there is no stirring until creamy once it starts to harden.
