Notes
- Dominicans will immediately know what brands of chocolate bars we use for this (Embajador or Munne brands) "water chocolate" recipe, however, it won't be possible to find those abroad.
- chocolate"
- recipe
- I have experimented with unsweetened baking chocolate with a pretty good result, bear in mind that baking chocolate can be a bit overpowering so start with half the amount the recipe calls for. Try it and if it seems like it might need more chocolate, then add a second square.
- If you are using cocoa powder, use the unsweetened kind and follow the same instructions as in the paragraph above.
- Use the equivalent amount of your favorite sweetener instead of sugar for a low-carb, keto, diabetic-friendly, light version.
