How do I know how much cocoa butter is in a particular chocolate? I am
not near any decent shops that sell chocolate and I only have one store in
my area that sells a variety of bar chocolates, such as Lindt, Godiva,
Pergua (?) and one other brand that I can't remember the name of. None of
them say on the packaging how much cocoa butter there is in them. I am
looking for some good chocolate to use in a chocolate fountain I receive at
Christmas. It's a cheao brand, but hey, it was a present, what can I say. I
would like to use this for an upcoming Wine party I am having, but would
rather not have to use the 3/4 c oil to 24 oz. chocolate chips ratio
(bleck!) they give in the book. And the only way to avoid doing that, they
say, is by using Belgium Chocolate or chocolate with a high cocoa butter
percentage in it. Without spending $40 to order a couple of pounds off the
internet, I'd rather use something local, if I can figure out how to tell
how much cocoa butter is in the store bought bars. Any help?
