How to make chocolate dry faster?
Question by kyle p: How to make chocolate dry faster?
I am using Hershey’s chocolate (milk) and dipping strawberries in it. I then put the strawberries on aluminum foil. How do I make the chocolate dry faster? Is there anything I can put in the chocolate to make it dry faster?

Answer by ItsMeAgain
Place them on a sheet of waxed paper and place them into the fridge. They will dry in half the time vs. leaving them out at room temp to cool.

How do you make chocolate candy without milk?
Question by Charlie: How do you make chocolate candy without milk?
My daughter and some of my relatives are allergic (not lactose intolerant but fully allergic) to milk. There are chocolate candies from specialty shops that don’t use milk in their chocolate but the cost an arm and a leg. I was hoping to make some “safe” chocolate candies for them for Christmas as they love chocolate but can’t eat anything with milk in it. I’d love to find a way to make candy bars, etc. WITHOUT the use of milk (soy, rice milk, margarine, etc would be okay). Thanks!

Bring in some chocolate, of course!
Maybe once you get to modern chocolate, you can say, “And here is what chocolate has turned into today,” and then pass some out.

Question by cg: where i can get the information about world chocolate poducer and consumer?

Answer by csanda
Biggest producers of chocolate:
1. Ivory Coast (40% of world’s supply)
2. Ghana
3. Indonesia
4. Cameroon
5. Brazil
6. Nigeria
7. Ecuador
Collectively, the above produce 80% of the world’s cocoa supply.
Source: CRB Commodity Yearbook and ED&F Man website
Largest consumers: 2001 had the best breakdown of country demand in CRB Commodity Book. Now this “consumption” is based on basically how much chocolate they make, not eat.
1. US
2. Netherlands
3. Ivory Coast
4. Germany
5. Brazil
6. France
7. UK
8. Malaysia
9. Italy
10. Belgium
11. Former Soviet Union
12. Rest of World
In terms of eating, chocolate consumption goes hand in hand with GDP. Naturally, there are some that are above the curve (e.g. Belgium) and some below the curve (e.g. Japan).
Petra food has a very good graph on chocolate consumption here:

Download the prospectus and look on page
Look on page 75. It’s a bit Asian-centric, but it has great information on the chocolate industry.

Question by Lorie: How to make melting chocolate (like the chocolate chips) out of cocoa powder?
I am trying to figure out how to use cocoa powder to make a meltable chocolate. Like the kind you melt the chocolate chip to make chocolate covered pretzels or cherries etc.

Answer by karat4top
I don’t think you can make that kind of chocolate from cocoa. I can’t get to my substitution information at the moment, but I remember in my Betty Crocker Cookbook there was a way to combine cocoa powder with oil and other stuff to make a similar consistency to melted chocolate of some type. Perhaps check the Betty Crocker site for substitutions? I don’t think you can get it to a consistency to dip anything in, because then it wouldn’t harden.
