Like being beaten with a bitter chocolate hammer. In the best kind of way.
This cocoa was recommended by a friend who bakes professionally; now I cannot live without it. It’s beautifully refined and composed, addictively bitter without ever being acrid. Silky, light textured and perfect.
You might think, “ Well. That is a very big bag. Oh, a bit more spendy than Hershey’s…” Kindly stop that misguided thinking right now as that is false economy. If you are going through the trouble of making something from scratch, please use the best damn ingredients available. Happily with Amazon you now have a resource to The Good Stuff.
Your cakes and cookies will impossibly dark, deep black-ish brown (without making anything dense) that will make grown men moan (looking at you, Da), women smile delightedly and best friends who come over sobbing at 3 AM settle down contentedly with the cat and finally fall asleep on your sofa. (Things will be better in the morning love. Yes, PMS is one nasty bitch.)
Remember you can boost that chocolate flavor by substituting coffee for water in your recipe. No one will detect it.
It’s like being assaulted with a dark chocolate hammer… in the very best way.
