Just as it took a while for brewery's to catch on an make good micro-brews, wonderful chocolate is catching on too. If you can find it, try E. Guittard-that's one of my favorites for baking and Scharfen Berger is also very good, but I prefer Guittard. I had a British friend who likened the taste of Hershey's to vomit-I couldn't agree more!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5632876888784738698.post-1837743751431287382010-11-11T22:13:37.804+00:002010-11-11T22:13:37.804+00:00Whenever anyone from my office goes to the States ...Whenever anyone from my office goes to the States they always bring back Hershey's kisses - even though they know people here don't like them. All the other treats go the first day, but the Hershey's chocolate will stick around for at least a week.Made With Pinkhttp://www.madewithpink.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5632876888784738698.post-24973006461879315682010-11-11T18:45:58.704+00:002010-11-11T18:45:58.704+00:00I'm not looking forward to meeting the potcake...I'm not looking forward to meeting the potcakes! sounds terrifying ! that would be my worst nightmare what happened to you!

You should really use a baking chocolate since they will be more likely to have more cocoa (and flavor). They might not have much in the Caribbean but maybe try Ghirardelli or Green & Black's?<br /><br />You shouldn't be baking with Dairy Milk either! That stuff is pretty awful too. You probably don't need chocolate that sweet for baking. <br /><br />I haven't compared the taste of Twix's but they either make them to local "tastes" or if anything is made in the Caribbean it is probably made with a formula where the chocolate doesn't melt as easily (When I lived in India Cadbury's made it that way and it tasted a little waxy but no shops have AC so it stops them from being all gross and melted).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04482078492022382483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5632876888784738698.post-59749820876418570012010-11-11T05:17:13.476+00:002010-11-11T05:17:13.476+00:00Yum how good does that look?
