Smoked chocolate
Posted: Wed Dec 11, 2013 1:48 pm
This is the usual post for info from "those who know better" first...
However I heard recently that chocolate has possiblities as to smoke as long as it's 70%+ to ensure more oil is present.
Should I bung in some hotel chocolat & some proper drops of belgian cooking chocolate (white & dark) & give it a bash for a few hours, or is chocolate mo choosey than the people typically scoffing it? (Cadbury's ..a woeful tale )
NB found these links, seems good enough for a baker to smoke 40lbs of choc chips at a time

Times like this I wish I had more wood types to try!
...also, should I make up some caramel to adhere some smoke to?
