Guest guest Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 Thanks for the recipe Kathleen! Will a good quality baking chocolate be so marked on the package? I'm a " newby " to cooking.

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 You are welcome to the recipe. At the bottom end of baking chocolate is Baker's, Ghirardelli, and Hershey's. The ingredients will only list chocolate or unsweetened chocolate. These are basic and one of them should be carried in most full service grocery stores. Going up the quality scale, one of my favorites is Scharffen Berger which used to be made in Berkeley, California http://www.scharffenberger.com/ . The ingredients on it state cocoa beans, whole vanilla beans--may contain traces of sugar and soy lecithin [an emulsifier]. I had heard that it was going to be off-shored, but the one I have on hand was made in Berkeley. Cocoa butter tends to be a very stable fat. Then you go into the fancy imported European chocolate. I have occasionally used them, but they don't tend to be available in the small community that I live in. Kathleen Eureka CA Thanks for the recipe Kathleen!
