Since I am a chocolaholic, I will always be on the lookout for the best chocolate for baking, cooking, eating and giving.  Here is a start to my list.  I'll keep adding to it and letting you know what else I find out!

 

Cooking, Baking & Confections

Barry Callebaut - North America - DARK CHOCOLATE

  • Kosher
  • Vegan (no animal products are processed on their dark chocolate line)
