5 Tips for Working (Wonders!) with Chocolate

By admin

1. Dust pans with cocoa powder instead of flour. This will make your chocolate baking prettier – and extra chocolaty!

2. Keep water & moisture away from your work area. Water is the enemy of chocolate. It will make your chocolate “sieze”, producing an ugly mess.

3. Try not to work with chocolate on hot or especially humid days.

4. Consider investing in a small kitchen scale. When working with chocolate, it is important to have accurate measurements.

5. Set chocolates that have been dipped onto Silpat mats. If you don’t have Silpat, wax paper or parchment paper will work just fine.
