battlemaiden Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 It is the size of a paver tile. No lie. My good friend shared *part* of hers with me. It was a prize, and it is very high quality chocolate. I will have to break off pieces or shave off amounts to cook with. I guess I'll need to weigh it to get measurements. :001_huh: I rarely use baker's chocolate, but I'm aaaaalllll about trying something new. I need some ideas. Thanks.

Chelle in MO Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 I think I'd melt it all and sit in a big chair with a bowl of fresh strawberries to dip in it and a movie to watch! ;) Yeah, I know, I'm no help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gandpsmommy Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Is it semisweet, bittersweet, unsweetened? You could make chocolate molten/lava cake. Chocolate cake with ganache icing. Chocolate pudding. Brownies. Chocolate mousse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

battlemaiden Posted June 22, 2010 Author Share Posted June 22, 2010 Great suggestions! Thanks everyone. I think it is semi-sweet, but I haven't checked it out yet. I guess I should get right on that, huh? ;) Jo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teachin'Mine Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Paver tile size blocks of baker's chocolate have been known to spontaneously combust. For your safety, I would strongly recommend removing it from your home. I'll PM you my address as we have ways of dealing - safely - with the situation. :D Daisy's brownie recipe is awesome! If it's the one on the side of Baker's chocolate, I used that years ago, and it was better than anything I've tried since. Just read that you're not sure if it's sweetened or unsweetened or semi-sweet yet. You have amazing willpower not to have tasted it already!!! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuvToRead Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 I would just hack off a chunk and eat it (assuming it's not unsweetened). Otherwise, make brownies with it. Brownies made with melted chocolate are the best. I haven't tried the recipe listed previously, but it sounds good. If it's bitter/semi sweet, you could chop it into chunks and make chocolate chunk cookies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
