I've asked this here before in a little different context, but I've never
received an answer. I have a couple of kilos of dark bittersweet chocolate, and I've been just nibbling on it for a year or two and have only managed to dent it. I have recipes that use Baker's cooking chocolate, and I wonder what the conversion is to use bittersweet chocolate in place of unsweetened bitter choocolate? I'd like to use some of this good chocolate to make fudge. Thanks. Best regards, Bob Old Fashioned Fudge (Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook) 2 cups sugar 3/4 cup milk 2 squares (2 oz.) unsweetened chocolate, cut up 1 teaspoon light corn syrup 2 tablespoons butter or margarine 1 teaspoon vanilla 1/2 cup coarsely chopped nuts Butter sides of a heavy 2-quart saucepan. In it, combine suggar, milk, chocolate, corn syrup, and dash salt. Cook and stir over medium heat until sugar disolves and mixture comes to a boil. Continue cooking to 234ºF (soft-ball stage), stirring only as needed to prevent sticking (mixture should boil gently over entire surface) Immediately remove from heat; add butter but do not stir. Cool, without stirring to lukewarm (110ºF), for 30 to 40 minutes. Add vanilla and nuts. Beat vigorously for 7 to 10 minutes or until fudge becomes very thick and loses its gloss. Immediately spread into a buttered 9x5x3-inch loaf pan. Score into squares while warm; cut when firm. Makes about 1 1/4 pounds. |
