Anyone know a brand of quality baking dark chocolate that has no milk
products in it? I was startled to find that Baker's now has baking
chocolate with milk products. I don't want to use them anymore, but I
thought I had to, then I found even they weren't going to work.
Appreciate any help.

I use Scharffenberger 99%. It's more expensive than the
Hershey/Baker/Nestle products, but very much better, too.
Hershey bought the company a while ago:I'm hoping quality
won't degenerate...

Thelma, Well. I Knew you were right about the quality of the
chocolate, now I know it would work for me. Here's what their site
says "Our 9.7 ounce Home Baking Bars (99% cacao, 70% cacao and 62%
cacao) and our 2Kg propacks are nut and dairy free." Now if only they
sold them here in rural Orange County NY!

I don't have a supermarket source either. I buy it
online, right from the company website, the 2kg
propack of 1oz pieces bulk packed.

It also exists in 9.7oz bars for about $9-$12 a bar
before shipping, but that contains lecithin.

Almost anything would be better than Baker's.
They are the worst. Look for any good quality
dark chocolate. Ghiradelli would probably be
a good choice for a baking chocolate, and it is
often sold in the baking section of the supermarket.

The reason I was going to Baker's is that Ghiradelli, Nestle Premium,
Hershey Premium and several other brands not familiar to me had either
butter or milk products in them or "possibly" in them whatever that
may mean. I didn't see Scharffenbergers in the three stores I went to,
so I don't know about them.

You can use ANY chocolate for baking... in Australia we used to use
Cadburys 'Energy' (dark) chocolate because it was better tasting than
most of the so-called 'cooking' chocolates. So if you can find a dark
chocolate you like that's dairy-free, just bake with that.

I tried that none that I looked at in the chocolate store here in
town, the speciality food market, or two supermarkets was reliably
dairy free. Wonder why dairy is being added to dark choclate. I;m not
sure, but I think I looked at Cadbury's, but I'll double-check.

Neither Callebeaut Unsweetened not Ghirardelli's Unsweetened chocolates
have any milk products in them. The only ingredient is "Unsweetened
Cocoa" for one and "Unsweetened Chocolate for the other one. Both are
good for baking.
