Be very careful with the chocolate chips as well. You'll need one
that doesn't have soy lecithin. If you know of a Jewish neighborhood
in your area that has a very Kosher shop, they might have chocolate
bars that are Kosher for Passover which doesn't have lecithin in it.
This is because most Jews of East European origins aren't allowed to
have soy products on Passover. Ask the shop owner or tell him you
need chocolate that has no licethin which is a legume by-product.
Items might say "contains no legumes" as well.

Finally, I found that Michel Cluizel has a chocolate bar that contains
only Cocoas, cane sugar and Bourbon vanilla pod - that's it, nothing
else! Its called "Ilha Toma" and its one of his Chocolate Amer bars
that's 65% cocoa solids. Chop that up into the recipe you got and you
may just have found your answer!

You can get Cluizel chocolates on www.chocosphere.com or the direct
link to those chocolates is http://tinyurl.com/s5x1 and a five bar
pack costs $5.75.

(Good luck.)
