Default Blending chocolates

While I know better than to attempt to make my own
chocolate from beans, I've been thinking it might be
possible to produce a pretty darn good chocolate
by blending premade chocolates. For example,
El Rey offers a number of single-varietal chocolates
that don't contain any flavor additives.

I don't think these could be really great chocolates
by themselves, but they might be just the right material
to blend to create a great chocolate.

Has anybody here done that? I assume I'd have
to retemper the chocolate. I've been thinking maybe
I could grate them very finely, mix the powdered
chocolates and flavor additives, then consolidate
them in a mold under pressure. Then, maybe
tempering wouldn't be necessary.
