Well, the answer might just be all three, but it’s worth learning the differences between these varieties so you can bake up some of your best chocolate recipes. Solid Baking Chocolate Truthfully, I had forgotten all about this recipe until my oldest son mentioned it in the first Bonus Episode of The Storied Recipe podcast ever. Chocolate is derived from cacao– and it doesn’t become chocolate until thepod is harvested, the beans are removed from the pod, then fermented, dried, roasted, ground into a paste (aka chocolate liquor– no alcohol!), then mixed with other ingredients like sugar and milk (milk chocolate!). Woo-eee! That’s a lot.

Grocery stores also carry chocolate wafers. They’re perfect for melting as a coating because they don’t contain stabilizers. Wafers are fantastic for unbaked goodies like chocolate ganache, puddings, frostings, and coating around candies. Unlike baking chocolate, I don’t recommend wafers for actual baked recipes. You want to reach for chocolate that is made for baking. Percentages on ChocolateMild in flavor and the sweetest of the true chocolates, milk chocolate contains at least 10% cocoa, and usually contains a lot of cocoa butter and sugar, too. Classic mainstream chocolate bars are made with this type. It’s also used in candy making and in plenty of sweet recipes. White Chocolate Erythritol– Erythritol is by far one of the most common sweeteners you’ll see in our baked goods. We love it because it’s very close to sugar taste wise, has a very minimal blood glucose impact, and makes delicious desserts. Erythritol can also be found in many grocery stores and online easily. Try our Almond Flour Keto Scones that use butter, almond flour, and erythritol, the holy trinity of keto. It's impossible to speak of milk chocolate in broad strokes—its quality and character span a maddeningly vast spectrum. For many folks, traumatic experiences with poor-quality milk chocolate have been enough to convince them to go dark or bust. But there's so much more to discover in the realm of milk chocolate; when done well, the addition of dairy fat brings out a whole new range of flavors. 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. Those characteristics make milk chocolate ideal for recipes that are otherwise low on sugar and fat (think chocolate-covered pretzels or whipped ganache), as well as those with a strong salty or bitter element, such as peanut butter, burnt sugar, or coffee. Ever wonder what the percentage on a chocolate bar means? This number actually tells you quite a lot about the flavor you’re about to unwrap– it refers to the percentage ofingredients by weight coming from cacao. A higher percentage means more intense chocolate flavor and lesssweet. The baking aisle is loaded with chocolate choices. Who knew such a tasty aisle could leave us in so muchbewilderment? Let’s start with cocoa powder. Actually, let’s rule it out completely. Cocoa powder, while from cacaoas you know, is a completely different ingredient. If you’re interested in more about this very particular ingredient, I recommend this post on Dutch-process vs. natural cocoa powder.

At the business’ height they were producing 5 tons of chocolate A DAY in Dot! Whoa! Baker’s main product was unsweetened chocolate, what you think of as baking chocolate. But they did produce other sweetened chocolates in addition to hot cocoa mixes! Baking chocolate, on the other hand, is what you should be reaching for. In its pure form, baking chocolateis unsweetened chocolate aka chocolate liquor. It is 100% chocolate without any added sugar or flavors. It’s bitter and therefore used in recipes with added sugar.While “baking chocolate” is unsweetened chocolate, you can use other chocolate varieties in baking.It’s a little confusing, I know. Chocolate used for baking can also bebittersweet, semi-sweet, milk, and white chocolate varieties– but the term “baking chocolate”typically means unsweetened. Got it? Sweet varieties may be referred to as "sweet baking chocolate" or "sweet chocolate". [6] Sweet baking chocolate contains more sugar than bittersweet [5] and semisweet varieties, and semisweet varieties contain more sugar than bittersweet varieties. [6] Sweet and semisweet baking chocolate is prepared with a chocolate liquor content between 15 and 35 percent. [5] a b c d e f Mushet, C.; Sur La Table; Caruso, M. (2008). The Art and Soul of Baking. Andrews McMeel Publishing. pp.39–40. ISBN 978-0-7407-7334-1. Here is where things can get a little confusing. While the FDA mandates bittersweet and semisweet chocolate contains at least 35% pure chocolate (cacao), it doesn’t specify what that percentage must be. In general, the higher the percentage, the less sweet the chocolate. It seems counterintuitive, but since chocolate in its natural form isn’t sweet, this actually makes perfect sense. Chocolate labeled 60 or 72% cocoa is often referred to as bittersweet. It’s great for eating by itself or baked into some delicious chocolate recipes. Semisweet ChocolateBaker's 100% Cacao Unsweetened Chocolate Baking Bar is made from high-quality cocoa and has no added sugar. Add an extra flavour of chocolate to your sweet dishes and enjoy the day! This article is about the chocolate brand by Kraft Heinz. For the former company, see Walter Baker & Company. Baker's The Baker family sold the company to the Forbes Syndicate in 1896, and the Syndicate kept the Baker name and production in Dorchester. They even expanded and by the 1960’s, Baker occupied over 14 acres in Lower Mills. But by the 1960s the company was owned by General Foods and they decided to close the Dorchester factories and move the operation to Dover, DE. Sadly, by 1965, Baker was completely gone from Dorchester. Bittersweet/dark chocolate: these two terms are usually used interchangeably. “Semi-sweet” contains 35 – 45% cacao and is usually sweeter than bittersweet or dark varieties. However, there are no legal restrictions to distinguish between all 3 and, depending on the brand, “bittersweet” or “dark” may have the same percentage as “semi-sweet.”Regardless, it will be darker and more intense than milk chocolate and sweeter than unsweetened.
