To paraphrase Richard Nixon, "I am not a cook".

I am experimenting with chocolate. I bought some Bakers unsweetened chocolate, butter and packets of Splenda.

I melted one square of chocolate and two teaspoons of butter in the microwave. Then I strirred in four Splenda Packets. I poured in into a small flat dish and then plopped some natural peanut butter into the middle, trying to make a Peanut butter cup of sorts.

The chocolate did not come out very sweet and the Splenda seems to not have blended thouroughly into the chocolate mix as there was a gritty texture. Should I have cooked it on a double boiler while the sweetener was mixed in?
