Compound chocolate chips. Bb November 2019. This would give people a chance to inexpensively experiment with chocolate. There are many things that can easily be crafted from compound chocolate. For example, melt the chips and spread on clean bubble wrap. Let cool. When chocolate is firm, peel off the bubble wrap. If you do this, you can put sheets in a plastic container and use on cakes and desserts. You can also get nice curves of chocolate sheeting by using jars and wine bottles. Compound chocolate is not the tastiest but you don’t need to temper it to craft it in many different ways. It’s very stable after crafting as well.

Dude what happened to the dietician plan? These deals can be tempting for all of us but that milkshake sounds deadly
I think that the melted chocolate would immediately harden, even in room temperature. It would probably be more feasible to make a chocolate syrup or sauce. Compound chocolate is not for connoisseurs of fine chocolate. It is a commodity that is best used for chocolate art. Dipped strawberries, that sort of thing.
Ah OK so really only for decoration note really for taste and flavour.
Thanks so this would be better for display and presentation rather than adding a rich texture or more flavours.
Got it thanks.
Mix choc and boiling water to make syrup. This will dilute the fats so they dont set hard, Use that. As stated before your choc will harden in the milkshake.
Low quality - 15% cacao only.
It’s compound chocolate, by its very nature, it can not be high %. That is what makes it good for manipulating. Fine chocolate has to be tempered if you want sheen and snap. Tempering is nit easy and is very messy. This is more for playing with, making decorations and the like.
Choc tops. You're welcome.
To this day I am trying to find what liquid chocolate they used to use to coat the soft serves in. It was a really nice liquid chocolate probably kept in some warm container to keep it from hardening.
Good childhood memories.
for those who don’t know, compound chocolate is made without cocoa butter, which is an expensive component in chocolate.
instead they use other vegetable fats, which can leave a fatty layer on the roof of your mouth, hence compound chocolate is cheaper than normal chocolate.Ohh compound chocolate gives that greasy film! That makes sense. It's also proper nasty =p
Back to full price 😔
How would it go say using it in a milkshake?
I am thinking make the milkshake with milk, sugar and vanilla ice cream then melt the compound chocolate and pour on top generously and eat while having molten hot chocolate with ice cold milkshake or maybe cool.. I might microwave the milkshake a bit because no one likes brain freeze or teeth freeze.
Finish with Milo and a bit of Whipped cream if you are feeling like the top 2% (they are like $4 now or $16/kg and honestly whipped cream tastes so good I can finish it in one or two sittings if I am feeling very decadently).
