I'm actually kind of a chocolate snob. The regular grocery store variety (butterfinger, snickers, kit-kat, etc.) doesn't even really tempt me anymore. ;) Dark chocolate is my favorite too.

I love to read about anything chocolate. This was a kind of "How It's Made" episode on chocolate! Oh, and I SO plan on having a chocolate tasting party! Our co-op in town has an entire aisle of chocolate! Woah, thanks for the (very welcome!) information overload! I love to read about anything chocolate.

Thanks for going to the trouble to spell out the details there. And I see the next/older post is going to be about melting and tempering, which is my weak spot for sure. I can't wait to taste test chocolate. Wish I had known this before putting wilton candy melty chocolate as the glaze for my beautiful bundt cake today. I can only scorch and seize so much real chocolate before going to the candy melts. But now you inspire me to practice some more. Hi. Wow.

You are absolutely right about needing to taste the chocolate to tell if it's going to suit your recipe. I find, too, when using unsweetened, you have to buy some of the semi-sweet as a tester so you know if the unsweetened will be any good. :-) Chocolate…. two days in a row…. Sigh.
