what do I do with 100% dark chocolate

turns out it's entirely inedible. I can't stomach it

now what

I'd like to try 100... Just recently I discovered I really enjoy 87%. I used to hate dark choco..

I guess you only like cappuccino's ?

I don't like coffee, can't drink it. So I don't like very dark chocolate.

I knew it was you
Melt it, add nuts, cocoa oil and sugar

hmm, I've tried 99% dark chocolate, but 100%? wouldn't that be just cocoa?

@Grumm I like coffee but I don’t like dark chocolate.

... maybe pot on the stove. I have coconut oil. could put some walnuts in. and honey for sugar

this could be a disaster!

@jestdotty never heat up natural honey if you don't want poisoning

@kiki the what

that sounds very strange?

I have raw honey. and my mom had this recipe for sore throats. milk, honey, baking soda and you heat it up. we used the processed honey though not raw. processed honey is processed by heating up raw honey... so this is all very confusing

also I've used this raw honey for hot teas. is that heating up honey? 🤔

@kiki huh? What about heating up milk with honey?

if you burn honey it creates something called hydroxymethylfurfural

but if you melt chocolate it's actually very easy to burn it (I remember people trying to make fondues). so I don't think I'll be putting this high enough to be burning this. it just has to be warm enough for the chocolate to melt and mix

coconut oil will also literally smoke if it's out on a too high heat and release carcinogens (as most fats do if you burn them)

Baking.

@jestdotty

"hydroxymethylfurfural"

burnt honey make you are furry, interesting

@Demolishun that’s the layman’s term, yes :)

Scrape some off and put it in your coffee.

It's good for making hot chocolate, though. Other than that, it's just a flex for the producer. You don't really do anything else with 100% chocolate, because it includes high doses of theobromine, smaller doses of caffeine and tiny amounts of some other toxins you find in raw cacao.

@jestdotty 😆 Well, not all toxins are bad, especially in small amounts. Your body actually needs mild stressors to improve its kung-fu for when it has to fight the real deal.

Take red wine. Drink half a bottle, and you might get drunk, maybe even get a hangover the next day, generally feel like crap. But drink a few sips to dinner every day, and it lowers the risk of cardiovascular issues, helps regulate cholesterol and insulin levels, can even help with weight lose.

The same goes for tea, coffee, even energy drinks, and yes — chocolate. All of them good in moderation, bad when overconsumed, and highly addictive in every scenario.

@cprn my chemistry teacher used to say:

Everything is poison. It just depends on the amount.

@jestdotty Random guy at your service. 🫡

Also, maybe try silent meditation, IDK. 😆

87 is okay - i like that, 92 is the edge of the galaxy for me, anything above it - like 96+ are inedible.
