An all purpose bakers coating with a smooth texture of milk chocolate appearance and flavour. A free flowing coating, formulated for enrobing work. Ingredients Sugar, Vegetable Oil (Palm), Whey powder (MILK), WHEAT flour (with Calcium, Iron, Thiamin (B1), Niacin (B3)), Fat Reduced Cocoa Powder(6%), Emulsifiers: SOYA Lecithin, Polyglycerol Polyricinoleate Natural Flavouring.If a recipe askes for dark chocolate we tend to recommend using a dark chocolate with 70% cocoa solids (cocoa mass and cocoa butter). This would be most commonly regarded as an "eating" chocolate though sometimes it will be sold in both the confectonary and baking sections of the supermarket. The high level of cocoa soids gives a deeper chocolate flavour which is useful in baking. For milk and white chocolates we would suggest using a good quality "eating" brand of chocolate.

To melt on the hob, break bar into squares and place in a dry heatproof bowl over a pan of hot (not boiling) water and stir until smooth. Take care not to get water into the melting chocolate coating. To melt in the microwave (based on 850w) break bar into squares and place in a microwave safe bowl and heat on medium (50%) power for 20-30 seconds then stir well.
