Result

Good. Produces more of a brownie chocolate than a standard cocoa chocolate. Tasters suggest this tastes more luxurious. They tend to like it, but most tasters prefer just a spoon full of this before switching back to the standard cocoa.


This is still a work in progress, but generally, this is riffing off of the changes that occurred to the peanut butter recipe last year. I want to figure out how to give this more chew. I'm thinking about adding tapioca flour.

Cocoa and Dutch processed cocoa both work. Some people prefer one or the other. Many prefer a mixture of the two. Know your recipient.
