Step 1:

Prepare the ingredients.
Step 2:

Mix the sugar with the cocoa powder.
Step 3:

Add a spoonful of milk and stir.
Step 4:

Then pour in the rest of the milk and mix.
Step 5:

Set the saucepan over a double boiler and stir until everything comes together.
Step 6:

Here's the smooth mixture you should get.
Step 7:

Lower the heat to its minimum, add the butter, and stir until all the ingredients are fully combined.
Step 8:

Then add the flour…
Step 9:

…and stir well again.
Step 10:

Take it off the double boiler, add the vanilla sugar if you like, and stir. You can also mix in chopped nuts.
Step 11:

Now pour the chocolate into molds. Use one big mold and you'll have a chocolate bar. I made "chocolate kitties"! Lightly grease the inside of the mold with butter and pour in the chocolate.
Step 12:

Now chill the molds in the fridge or freezer — I prefer the freezer. Leave them until fully set.
Step 13:

Once well chilled, the candies pop right out of the molds!
Step 14:

Treat your kids and yourself to homemade milk chocolate! Enjoy!

Note: since ingredient quality varies, be ready to add more dry ingredients and/or less liquid to get the right thickness. I didn't need to — I used exactly the amounts in the list. Judge the consistency of the chocolate mixture BEFORE freezing.
