About Baking chocolate

Baking chocolate is chocolate sold for use as an ingredient in baking and cooking, rather than a single standardized recipe. It may be unsweetened or contain varying amounts of sugar and other ingredients, so the label is needed to distinguish styles.

It is commonly sold in bars, blocks, or chips and has a firm, breakable texture when cool, melting to a smooth, rich mixture when heated. Flavour ranges from intensely bitter in unsweetened forms to sweeter in other types; composition and performance vary accordingly.
