Although our CHUNKS and Premium Cocoa are some of the best chocolates you can buy, they are not suitable for chocolate covering anything that you would want a solid coating on, similar to our Dolci Frutta. The CHUNKS do not contain the proper oils that allow immediate solidification of the chocolate after melting. In order to use the CHUNKS for this purpose, they would need to be tempered, which is a very precise procedure involving heating the chocolate to a certain temperature, then dropping the temperature quickly, several times. If temperatures in tempering are not exact, it will not work, and it is much easier to use Dolci Frutta or a similar confectionary coating. The same holds true for the Baking Cocoa, in which a liquid chocolate would need to be made and tempered.
