- 3. Chocolate 101 o Buy unsweetened chocolate before you buy bittersweet or semi-sweet: while unsweetened can always get sweeter, you can never take the sugar out of the others. o Cocoa powder quickly becomes chocolate with the quick addition of butter and sugar. o Never substitute milk chocolate for melting recipes calling for something else: the milk solids will affect the recipe. o When melting chocolate, always chop it up first so that it melts evenly. Also, when melting chocolate over direct heat, be sure to use a LOW temperature. Sweet and Salty: So Happy Together! A hint of salt makes sweet treats taste better: salt awakens our taste buds, making them that much more receptive to sweetness. The proper balance makes two favorites, bacon and chocolate, taste even better than they would on their own. How to make a perfectly textured muffin: temper the chocolate slowly so it's incorporated into the butter evenly. Whisk the sugar into the eggs aggressively, to make sure it's incorporated evenly. That way when you combine the two, you'll have a perfect texture FABIO VIVANI'S recipe
