What I have available is Dove Dark Chocolate. Will that work? If not, just go ahead and let me know how to do this. I know that dealing with chocolate temperament is tricky so I will appreciate if someone how really knows what he is talking about could answer this question. I always give 10 points to the best answer; it will not go to vote. Thanks.
Not only Dark Chocalate. If anybody knows how to work with fudge I will gladly listen.
Yes LR, please let me know about your other recipes. Thanks.

I make these every fall for my gift baskets. I use a chocolate called Almond Bark,usually available at Walmart, which comes in light, milk, dark and vanilla. I simply place a small pot of SIMMERING ( boiling casues too much steam) water on my stove put the chocolate in another pot that will sit just above the water and allow it to melt. whatever you do don’t let any water or steam get in the chocolate, it will cause it to not set up or get solid again. once the chocolate is completely melted use a set of tongs to dip the oreos or anything that you want in the chocolate and place on wax paper. Allow it to cool down to when the chocolate is a solid again and place in an air tight container.
Some other things that I dip is whole marshmallows, graham crackers with peanut butter between 2 of them and I even make pecan clusters. Just let me know if you want to know how to do these others…I’ll Gladly share what I know. Good Luck.

I have a bar of dark chocolate (57% cacao), milk, sugar and vanilla. And a microwave. Does anyone know what ratio of these ingredients would make tasty hot chocolate? Thanks!

No microwave, use a pot & stove.

Shave a chunk of chocolate the size of a clenched fist with a cheese grater, boil the milk. The minute the milk starts bubbling, turn it off. Poor the shavings into a cup & poor milk in the cup.

You could boil the shavings in the milk, but then you’d have to clean chocolate out of the pot.

I’d recommend not using any sugar at all, one drop of vanilla, mint, or almond extract, if you have sweet spices (pumpkin/apple pie spice, allspice, cinnimon, nutmeg, mace, ginger) give a little shake, marshmallows, a spoonfull of Ovaltine, instant coffee or malt, topped with dairy-based whipping cream, or half & half for flavor.

I heard a problem is that the white and the dark chocolate gets separated, how do you make this seamless? Does it have to do with using chips or chopped chocolate?
What I mean is……….the chocolates for some reason are not sticking together after serving in my friend’s trial runs. When they are chopped they fall apart.

Melt both chocolates and swirl together with a knife. An alternative is to make the base from the dark chocolate and then top with the white chocolate and crushed candies.

I’m researching for my College speech class and need examples of dark chocolate that has a cocoa content over 70%, does anybody know of any candy you can buy at the store that meets this criteria?

that’s all I eat!! its from Scharffenberger….I get it at Whole Foods Store, and its healthy and good for you…I’m german and love chocolate, but after eating all my life Tobler, Mozart Kugeln and Lindt….this is a real experience….you just don’t eat it like other chocolates, you put a little piece in your mouth and let it melt….also try the Trüffel…zart-bitter…very good!!

Trader Joes used to carry this product and I became addicted! Apparently they didn’t sell well enough, because they were caught under the axe. Trader joes does have dark chocolate edamame, but that is not the same as the soy nuts.

I have also found milk chocolate covered soynuts, but cannot find dark chocolate. I have been searching my local stores, health food stores and internet - with no luck. Any tips would be appreciated!
