Just add it during the melting process and stir before adding anything else.

We usually just use either butter or cooking spray and that seems to work fine. It also may help if you "season" it first. Spray it with some cooking spray and let it sit in the coals -just like you were cooking something. Flip it a few times and let it cool.

If it is chocolate only, it needs to be floated on water in a double boil. This is difficult with an electric fondue pot. Add milk or cream to the chocolate while melting.

Yes. I don't know how to make chocolate but I know it is made from cocoa butter. Actually, the cocoa butter smells just like chocolate.

I just mix mine with coconut oil. Use a double boiler to melt, mix, and put it in the fridge until a consistency like pudding but a little denser. Mix with a beater and it will be extra fluffy!

I used it for lip balm, but I believe it is often used in Luton as well. My mom is a massage therapist and told me you have to be careful with cocoa butter because it can stain clothing, so you might want to research that more before using it in a lotion.

Yes (remember to heat the milk before dissolving cocoa and add sweetener of your choice)

I used to mix it with trader joes cocoa to give my brownies and cupcakes a rich dark chocolate taste. It's pretty good. Trader Joes changed their cocoa formula so it's so light now that I just had to buy another brand entirely. This cocoa is too expensive for a bakery but it's great for home use.

mine is hard, its difficult to cut it with a knife, but i keep it in the fridge, i want to keep it in good conditions so i can use it for long time, i remember my grandma used cocoa butter and it was like a bar of soap, so yes it is hard, its not like a body butter that u can grease onto your skin, u cut a peace down and rub your skin with it, and with you skin temperature it becomes oil on your skin.

Cocoa butter is very temperature sensitive. I've ordered this three times and each time it had melted into one solid mass when it got to me. This doesn't bother me, since I melt it anyway.

Preheat for 10 minutes then fill with chocolate. Make sure unit is sitting level. Take off preheat and put on other setting (forgot what it is). If chocolate does not flow uniformly down entire unit, then level it again until it flows correctly. Easy to clean. Just take apart and use soap and water to clean it.

I'm breaking tradition here for a fellow pizzelle enthusiast - Here's a recipe that Grandma Valery used and I use to this day - Usually not given out but here it is: 1-1/4 cup all purp. flour 1 stick butter ( if using salted butter omit salt called for in recipe) 3 large eggs 3/4 to 1 cup sugar 1/4 teaspoon salt (see above) 1 teaspoon FRESH baking powder 1 to 2 teaspoons of your favorite flavoring - as w. Ewell pointed out, anise oil is FAR SUPERIOR to extract but be careful not to overdose - anise oil is powerful. Melt butter and let cool. Beat eggs untill golden, add sugar and whisk until smooth, add butter and whisk until completely blended. Add your flavoring and whisk to incorporate. Add flour, salt ( if using) and baking powder gradually whisking to incorporate. Follow instructions for your pizzelle maker (Hopefully a Palmer - they are only the BEST) Option - when adding the dry ingredients add a heavy 1/4 cup of the best cocoa you can lay your hands on - I prefer Hershey's Special Dark. Usually the chocolate pizzelles need a bit more time - With my Palmer I cook my Anise pizzelles for about 30 seconds to make them light colored ( Although they aren't as crisp as when you cook them until slightly browned - 40 to 45 sevconds) and I cook the chocolate pizzelles for about 45 seconds - They're incredible - crispy with chocolate flavor that sneaks up on you and are the perfect accompaniment to good coffee or ice cream. If you try the recipe and love it as I do thank Grandma Peppina in your nightly prayers. Enjoy! Home Geezer

I have and it's a great base when used with beeswax, however the smell is extremely hard to cover. I've used oils like lavender and rosemary to try to overpower but can still smell the cocoa. I have he same problem when I use it in making bar soap as well. It's great for skin but hard to work with the scent.

You can use it in a crepe like Nutella. Or I made it into a mousse with whipping cream, filled a Belgium chocolate cup for a fancy dessert.
