So, for those of you not ready to jump into full Artisan Chocolate, might I suggest just making up your own varietal baker's chocolate and using it where ever you would use that stale bitter stuff from the store. I and my daughter did just that last night for a nice batch of brownies. She even tasted the mix before the sugar was added. I warned her it was not sweet yet. (remember how bad it was when you did that as a kid :-( . It was fine. She said "It's OK papa (patting my arm), it's good". There you have it, from the mouth of babes. Give it a try.
Ingredients
- 3 oz Cocoa liqueur of your choice
- 1/2 c butter
- 1 c sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 t vanilla
- 3/4 c flour
- 1/4 t salt
- 1/2 c walnuts
Procedure

Enjoy!
Arguably the best milk chocolate ever!
