This burfi is a result of an experiment. I saw a recipe for home made chocolates in a magazine recently. But when I was preparing, there was something wrong with the recipe. I have gone through the recipe many times before attempting. But there was a shortage of liquid in the recipe and the ingredients didn’t come together. So I added a cup of milk and the result was a very chocolaty, soft burfi. I just kept the mixture in the fridge and kept my fingers crossed until it set. To my surprise, it set beautifully and it was delicious too. I shared it with my neighbour. My daughter liked it so much and she even took it to school.
Procedure: 1. Sift cocoa and milk powder to get rid of any lumps. This step is a must to get a smooth texture. 2. Add 1/2cup of water to sugar and bring it to one string consistency on low flame. 3. Melt butter. Add the cocoa powder and milk powder to the syrup and mix well. At this stage the powders will not get mixed thoroughly. 4. Add butter and milk to the mixture and mix well. Do every thing on low flame to avoid burning. 5. Line a square tin with aluminium foil. 6. Once every thing comes together, pour it into the prepared tin. 7. Press it with a spoon to get an uniform top. the burfi will be shining when pressed. 8. Place it in refrigerator and let it become firm. It may take an hour to set. 9. Remove the block of burfi along with the foil from the tin. 10. Cut into bite size pieces. 11. Store the burfi a jar and keep it in fridge.

If you reduce the amount of Cocoa Powder I think it should work without adding milk. I have a recipe at my space which is very similar to this without milk but the proportions are different. It comes out very well too.
@Priya, The burfi tasted like bitter sweet chocolate. SO if you reduce the cocoa powder, it will be on the sweeter side. 200gm of butter equals 1cup. So 175gm of butter equals 3/4cup +1/8cup. Melt it after measuring.
