Filipino Baking Chocolate
Just before the new year I discovered that I could order baking chocolate from Auro. One of the best chocolate makers in the world that happens to be in the Philippines. These are different from Tableya, as with tableya when you bake it, it is still keeps it’s shape. With these, you get nice pools of chocolate. Just what you need.
