I remember when Hershey’s with Almonds was actually a good chocolate bar. That was a long time ago. They’ve wrecked their own products; it’s hardly unreasonable to worry about the Scharffen Berger line.

A recipe that’s become a staff favorite, developed by Charles Chocolates.

Hi, So I bought a big chunk of Scharffen berger 99% (unsweetened) chocolate. What should I make with it? I’m sure it’s about 10 oz and most recipes I’ve found call for only a couple ounces. Is there any way I...

also used Scharffen Berger Cocoa nibs in the batch I made this afternoon. It also makes a very rich and fruity fudge.
