craftyhunnypie Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Hi - I want to make some choccy slabs for Xmas with bits of marshmallow in, nuts, mini fudge pieces etc. But what sort of chocolate would you buy for melting down? Cooking chocolate is always so naf tasting- especially that yuky scotbloc stuff. Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 I think you can get any quality of chocolate. G &B do a cooking chocolate, but it is expensive. If you aren't cooking with it, you just want to melt and reset it, then I would've thought any good quality chocolate would work. I've bought some of those giant blocks of cadbury's for the boys to melt down and pour into moulds to make christmas shapes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 I use a mixture of G&B's and Cadburys, just melt them together and add the extra bits. G&B's Maya Gold is nice added to milk chocolate...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickencam Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 I f you want cheap stuff that tastes ok and have a Morrisons near by they sell value dark chocolate at 26p a bar, they also do a milk and a fruit and nut. It is surprisingly nice and we now use it in all of our chocolate cooking, and OH and ED eat the stuff by the bucket load We have made Nigella's Rocky Road with it and it was yummy.

craftyhunnypie Posted November 26, 2009 Author Share Posted November 26, 2009 Thanks , I'm going Morrisons today. I thought they would be nice to add to a Xmas hamper. My sister's hamper will be chocolate themed. Mum's on a special diet so mum & dads will have some treats in for dad & knitted items for mum.
