Plus, our baking bar is easy to store and won't take up too much space in your pantry or baking cupboard.

Ingredients

Our baking bar is made from high-quality cocoa solids that have been carefully processed to deliver a rich, chocolatey flavor without any added sugar. We also include a small amount of soy lecithin to help stabilize the chocolate and ensure a smooth, consistent texture. As our baking bar contains no dairy, gluten, or nuts, it's a great choice for those with a wide range of dietary restrictions.

Texture

Thanks to the high-quality cocoa solids we use, our baking bar has a rich, creamy texture that really sets it apart from other baking chocolates. When melted, our chocolate has a silky, smooth consistency that's perfect for drizzling over desserts or dipping fruit in. In baked goods, our baking bar melts evenly and adds a decadent, fudgy texture to cakes, brownies, and more.

Flavor

Thanks to the high percentage of cocoa solids in our baking bar, it has a bold, full-bodied flavor that's both intense and satisfying. Unlike other baking chocolates that can be overly sweet or artificial tasting, our chocolate has a natural, authentic taste that really shines through in every recipe. When used in moderation, our baking bar is the perfect ingredient for satisfying all your chocolate cravings without derailing your healthy eating habits.

Cooking Suggestions

Whether you're looking to create rich, fudgy brownies, melt-in-your-mouth truffles, or decadent chocolate ganache, our baking bar is the perfect ingredient. To melt our baking chocolate, simply break it into small pieces and heat it in a double boiler or microwave, stirring occasionally until smooth. For baked goods, our baking bar can be used in place of traditional baking chocolate at a 1:1 ratio, making it a breeze to substitute in your favorite recipes.

Health Benefits

Cocoa solids are packed with antioxidants and flavanols, which have been linked to a range of health benefits, including improved heart health, lower blood pressure, and reduced inflammation. Our baking bar is also low in sugar, making it a great option for those looking to reduce their sugar intake. Just be sure to enjoy our baking chocolate in moderation, as it still contains calories and fat.

Dietary Restrictions

Our baking bar contains no dairy, gluten, or nuts, making it a great choice for those with allergies or intolerances. It's also vegan-friendly, as it contains no animal products. Just be sure to check the label before using our baking chocolate, as it may have been produced in a facility that also processes other allergens.

Storage Instructions

We recommend storing our baking chocolate in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and strong odors. If you've opened the package, be sure to wrap the chocolate tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil to prevent air from getting in. Our baking bar can be stored for up to a year if stored properly, so you can always have some on hand for all your baking needs.
