When melted chocolate cools and rehardens, it can “bloom” — in other words, take on a dusty, white, mottled appearance and a matte, rather than shiny, look. Try it as part of a blend for chocolate chip cookies, or incorporate it into sauces and ganache to pair with lighter desserts, like strawberry cake, or even an orange twist on this Meyer lemon ice cream. For those whose primary objection to milk chocolate is textural, this option has a cleaner mouthfeel than more dairy-forward brands; it's still creamy, to be sure, but not as tongue-coating as milk chocolate can often be.

It's an expression of cocoa that's mellow, soft, and nutty, able to furnish desserts with a sweet richness and creamy consistency distinct from dark chocolate.Alternatively, melt ½ cup peanut butter chips in the microwave by heating, then stirring, in 15 second intervals.

Chocolove 65%, on the lighter end of the spectrum, is sweet but complex—the sort of thing you'd toss into a batch of double-chocolate cookies or melt into a ganache to drizzle over a chocolate cherry layer cake.This chocolate has a sweet and mellow vibe that's a little nutty with a big vanilla aroma that stands out up front.

For example, in a ganache recipe, which is just cream and chocolate, there isn't any added sugar, and so using unsweetened or classic baking chocolate would result in a ganache that's far too bitter. While not as high in cocoa butter as some other bars, it melts smoothly and manages to feel more velvety than most, keeping its bitterness in check. The offset spatula on the top was dipped into chocolate that was melted and cooled; it’s dull and not properly tempered. Note: This is the recipe that used to be on the inside of the orange box of Baker’s Unsweetened Chocolate. It's great for dairy-centric applications, like pots de crème, ganache, and chocolate buttercream, where fruitier chocolates can make the finished product seem weirdly tangy or sharp.

Just add this unsweetened chocolate baking bar to a cake or milk and then enjoy one of the most pleasurable experiences in the world. I invite you to listen to Liz Zunon's episode, Grandpa Cacao's Granddaughter, while you make this classic Baker's brownie recipe.
