Cooking with 100% pure cacao wafers

April 20, 2020 10:25 AM

What it says on the tin. I have a four lb. bag of completely unsweetened 100% cacao wafers. I'd like suggestions for using them in recipes which call for other forms of chocolate. I'm familiar with the recipes on this site and this site, neither are especially appealing. Thanks!

I should think they could be crushed and used for a nice pie crust. Add sugar and a bit of melted butter, press into pan, fill with, say, chocolate mousse.

I've been given quite a bit of 100% cacao chocolate and I use it up by: cutting it into little chunks to use as chips in sweet cakes, using it in place of cocoa powder in savoury dishes like mexican food, making krispie cakes with rice krispies (chocolate, golden syrup, butter - melt - rice krispies), and in any other place I would use like 70% but I tend to cut it with 70% or add more sugar.
