Stage 5 for dark chocolate. Stage 4 for milk chocolate.
Do not boil white chocolate.

Thanks, Julie. That's very enlightening.

Is chocolate some kind of unique confection, since there's no sugar stage?

I don't think so. You can make plenty of other confections without boiling.

much for sugar and other ingredients. It was certainly not very sweet!
