chocolate are a glossy, unblemished
surface and a clean snap when broken. Try
to avoid chocolate that has a dusty white
film on it (called “bloom”) as this indicates
the chocolate has been improperly stored
or has melted and rehardened. Poor

What’s the
Difference?
When it comes to cocoa powder, you
have two options: natural and Dutch–
processed. Natural cocoa is red-brown
in color and usually labeled unsweetened
cocoa powder. Dutch-processed, on the
other hand, is much darker and less acidic.

The Perfect
Melting Point
When melting chocolate on a stovetop,
use a confectionary thermometer.
Chocolate is very sensitive to high
temperatures. Dark chocolate should
never be heated above 120 degrees, while
milk and white chocolates should never
be heated above 110 degrees. Overheated
pies& cakes
chocolate can become thick and difficult
to work with.
