this is probably a stupid question, but is there any way to make vegan chocolate

at home using cocoa powder?
the town I am in right now is really lame, and I have not been able to find vegan friendly chocolate anywhere!
however, I did promise to make vegan chocolate chip cookies and the chocolate chips that I thought were vegan actually are NOT vegan :(
I do have some cocoa powder in a box....is there any way I could make hard chocolate out of that or make chocolate sauce and then freeze it and break it into chips or chunks for my cookies? or am I being really dumb due to my insomnia?
if you mix cocoa powder and some sort of fat (eb or oil), it'll make like a chocolate sauce. you could try that (do some googling for measurements) and then stick it in the fridge to see if it solidifies. oh! if you check at a crafty store, wilton dark cocoa candy melts (like for making chocolate coated things) are vegan i'm pretty sure. if you chop them up, they could be chocolate chip-ish.
Ghiradelli (sp?) semi sweet chocolate chips, they're in a gold bag. and VEGAN!!
Target has some choxie stuff that is vegan (a kind of dark chocolate and i had this expresso chocolate that was)
I'm not sure about making it yourself though, never done that.
But just look around! vegan chocolate is there, its just hiding
I tried this awhile ago! There should be a post somewhere here on vegweb about homemade chocolate chips...
it never really worked out too well for me. I think it would work best with the powder and cocoa butter... mine solidified in the freezer and tasted fine, but also messy.
I use baking chocolate now when I want hard chocolate.

oh yeah, these! the semi sweet ones (or bittersweet? not sure which one it was). they have them at walmart, if you have one close by.
Ghiradelli Semi Sweet are the ones to buy. Excellent flavor, wonderful melt and vegan.
No question is a stupid questioon. We're all here to help! I saw on the blog myvegancookbook the author made chocolate chips cookies with homeade chocolate chips. Here's the recipe and the blog. Hope this helps! http://www.myvegancookbook.com/recipes/recipe.php?id=21

thank you sooo much
I actually was able to find the giradellis (spelling?? lol). It was the last one! Lucky me! Tomorrow I will make the cookies the right way; totally vegan.
