WOW! is all i can say.
I use Callebaut a lot in goodies i bake at home. They’re a bit expensive but the chocolaty goodness is at a palatably acceptable level!!!
Just a question: Where could I buy it cheaper? At the mall stalls, it costs P400.00 per block.
I haven’t really used Valrhona cocoa powder but, just in case, where could I also find this? I’m thrilled to try using this after having read your post:)

Right on Kaye, these chocolates are making me drool too. And I am happy to note that Apicio shares the same thing about storing chocolates. Most people go “YUCK” with food stored a long time but believe it or not, with proper storage, some foods do last a loooooooooonnngg time. And what are these modern technologies (e.g. refs and freezers) for?

I can’t identify with all the high-falutin brands and it’s not because I don’t like them. I love them. I just can’t afford them. But I like the way you MM sometimes make something out of nothing or from scraps. I think I’ve mentioned it before, it is not impossible to create/make delicious, nutritious recipes/meals with meager budget. And meager budget is all I have so I supplement that with a lot of creativity and imagination. Such a challenge! And thus far, I (my son and husband especially) are quite happy with the outcome. They’re quite healthy, too!

So cheers to you and continue to share your ideas. More power!

Marketman,

You’re killing me softly with this one. It must be sinfully delicious. Chocolate is my weakness. Often times it’s better than *** :>)

Holy Chocolate Overload, MarketMan.

These cookies are too much. :)

Lucky you that chocolate lasts long enough in your freezer to be considered leftovers. Chocolate in my household barely makes it through the door.

Cheers!

MM,
one of my favourite combination, chocolate cookies and macademia nuts. whenever i make choco chips/chunks cookies at home, i always make 2 diff batch, one without the macademia as i find it that my younger cousins tend to pick out the macademias on their cookies, and ofcourse the other batch is a macademia overload for the young at hearts! :)

adding toblerone in your chocolate cookies is a great idea, specially during the christmas season where we find ourselves receiving diff varieties of chocolates!
thanks!
