Ok, after searching yet another store (that makes two, for those of you
keeping score at home), I just broke down and bought the "Ghirardelli
chocolate, Premium Baking Cocoa, Sweet, Ground Chocolate and Cocoa". I thought
it was more expensive until I took a closer look today, and realized that the
$4.00 container is 16 oz., as compared to the $2.50-ish container of Hershey's
that is only 8 oz. Nothing on any container said anything about them being
Dutch processed except one that I can't recall the brand of (saw it Friday)
that said it was a blend of Dutch and semi-sweet.... or something. Anyway,
this one was the only one with hot chocolate recipes printed on the label that
DIDN'T say to add sugar; so I felt safe with the decision.
Now, how would I, as mentioned above, modify the recipe for the Ghirardelli?
I'm thinking maybe just leave out the powdered sugar.... or at least reduce the
amount???
Thanks,
