Proper nice 70% dark stuff. Just the same as normal, innit?

Besides I've run out of Haribo and it's all I have in the cupboard

Will I get the squits? Blush

You will be writhing in agony in puddles of squits.

70% cocoa squits though.

I pretty much always eat cooking chocolate. I don't do milk chocolate, I like mine dark. Why on earth would it give you the squits?

My mum always told me if I eat her cooking chocolate I'll get the squits. She lied to me?!

I never buy cooking chocolate, sainsburys basics is like 30p a bar. Cheaper and much nicer!

Yes your mum lied! It is just chocolate! Cooking vs eating is just to do with what cocoa is used, sweetness etc.

If you get the squits this will prevent any choccie related weight issue so it's a win win!

It'll be fine, but I agree that supermarket cheap chocolate is the way forward for cooking/baking.

Sainsburys basics dark chocolate is delicious - far nicer than cooking chocolate

What did you think happened if you ate a crispy cake?

are you sure you weren't trying to eat dog chocolate? I am a sel-confessed chocolate addict with no standards (happily eat cheap supermarket own cooking chocolate) but even I drew the line at that :o

Oh and just so you know, cooking chocolate is fine. The stuff they sell in huge slabs called cake topper is vile. I wouldn't top cakes with it.

for a horrific moment I thought you meant that despicable cake covering that describes itself as chocolate flavour cooking chocolate or something equally demonic. But if its just the chocolate that they sell in the baking aisle then eat away. You have my blessing.

That 30p dark chocolate in Sainsbo is the nuts!

I'd cook with it if I could get it as far as the saucepan. It's usually gone by the time I pull up outside Grin

You get to eat it, and feel virtuous that you've conned the VAT man out of 20%!
