Tips for U.S. located cooks: We know dark chocolate is a very difficult item to find in food stores. We noticed that Trader Joe's sometimes imports good one. Try to find chocolate with at least 50% cocoa. More is better.  And avoid industrial so-called 'chocolate' that is often mainly sugar with flavorings.
