Here Are a Few Tips When Cooking With Chocolate:
- I find that the easiest way to melt chocolate is in a double boiler. If you donโt have a double boiler you can put water in a saucepan and begin to boil, then place a glass bowl on top of the pan. Place the chocolate inside and continuously stir until melted. It can burn quickly if you arenโt careful.
- Never add a cold liquid like milk or butter to melted chocolate. If you add cold to the hot chocolate, it will cause it to seize, which results in a clumpy mess that is grainy and not too appetizing. Once in a while, you can save seized chocolate, but it doesnโt always work.
- Chocolate is also great for drizzling onto desserts. Just melt in the microwave at 10-second intervals and stir.
What are the best kinds of chocolate for baking?
There are many good kinds of chocolate for baking. I love to use dark chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate in my recipes. If you are looking for melting chocolate, Ghirardelli melting wafers are one of my favorites. They melt really smoothly.
Which Ghirardelli chocolates are gluten free?
All of Ghirardelli chocolate is gluten free with the exception of their crisp bars.
Are there dairy-free allergy-friendly chocolates that work in desserts?
Enjoy Life brand makes wonderful chocolate chips that are free of the Top 8 allergens. They taste delicious and you will never know they are dairy-free.
Is baker's chocolate gluten free?
Baker's chocolate is gluten free. Just note that Baker's chocolate is not sweetened. My son found out the hard way by grabbing a piece and biting into it :-).
Can you recommend a sugar-free chocolate brand?
Lily's makes a delicious gluten free and sugar-free chocolate. Their chocolate bars and chocolate chips are both very easy to use.

Hi all the recipes look amazing!
Is gluten free flour just wheat flour without the gluten? Are there other alternatives such as coconut flour?
cheers,
Thanks so much
Sharon
Sandi Gaertner
Hi Sharon, gluten free flour has no wheat. There are gluten free flour blends, that you would use if you are gluten free. Coconut flour behaves very differently than a gluten free flour blend. It absorbs a ton of liquid and wouldn't work as a 1 to 1 replacement. If there is a specific recipe you are wanting to make, please send me an email at [email protected] and I can try to help you.
