Need It Now: It’s 2 p.m., three hours to go... Grab your favorite Fresh to Market Chocolate bar—Milk Chocolate, Dark Chocolate, Chipotle Dark Chocolate or Dark Chocolate with Sea Salt—and eat it straight for a perfect midafternoon pick-me-up!
Break It Up: While we’re not saying chocolate is the solution to all your sorrows, according to scientists, it may actually boost your sense of wellbeing (thanks, Dr. Liz!). Break up a bar and add it to our Fresh to Market Ice Cream before you take on your next tearjerker.
Bake It Off: From chocolate chunk cookies to brownies, muffins and more, there are few desserts that can’t benefit from a bit of chocolate. Plus, baked goods make delicious gifts for any occasion—thank you/I’m sorry/happy birthday/I love you!
Temper, Temper: To get the perfect shine on chocolate-covered strawberries or truffles, tempering is key. Simply break chocolate into small pieces and place ⅔of it in the top of a double boiler. Stir constantly over hot (not boiling) water until temperature is 110-115°F. Remove from heat and cool to 95-100°F, then add remaining chocolate and stir until completely melted. Now you’re ready to dip, coat or candy to your heart’s content!
