Jean, Winners was selling them today too. I almost picked some up before I realized that there weren't any people I could think of who would welcome sweets (I was contemplating the dark chocolate loaf as a gift and realized that everyone I know is carefully watching their food intake). |

Dave, what do you mean about nuking the chocolate to the right temp for chopping? I was just chopping some semi-sweet this morning for hot cocoa mix and it's always such a pain. But I've never heard of changing the temp of it to make that easier. Thanks! Emilie |

Emilie, I simply take a chunk of chocolate and nuke it on high until it is just beginning to get to what you might call tepid, and when I cut through it it will slice, maybe breaking up a little, but not shattering, as it does at room temp. I nuked about a 12 oz block for 20 sec, which wasn't enough, then did about 8 sec two more times, and it was just about right. It is probably in the mid 80s at this time, and it begins to melt on the fingers when handled, but it chops up without all that powder. I discovered this by accident years ago, when I chopped up some chocolate in a hot kitchen - far hotter than I normally work in! Now I just nuke it. |
