Baking chocolate is also known as unsweetened or semi-sweet chocolate, is not for eating straight out of the bag. This is a type of dark chocolate used primarily for baking purposes only, as is in the name. It is 100% chocolate liquor, but it doesn’t contain any alcohol or any added sugar or flavoring for that matter. Most of it is in the form of bars or chocolate chips. You’ll typically spot this type of chocolate very easily in the baking aisle of any grocery store. It won’t be anywhere near the candy aisle and for good reason. Although it looks just as delectable and sweet, baking chocolate may not be as flavorful compared to milk or dark chocolate and of a lower quality than milk or dark. However, it does come in white, dark, and milk chocolate varieties, whatever the recipe requires. Popular brands of baking chocolate are Nestle’s semi-sweet chips, Ghirardelli and Baker’s chocolate.
