Does anyone have a good recipe for crusting chocolate bc? Can I just add melted chocolate to the regular crusting bc recipe? Would I have to adjust anything else? I searched the recipes on here and didn't come up with anything.

Thanks!

I have personally found that when adding cocoa powder to the BC it makes it a bit bitter...especially ifyou accidentally add too much.

I like to melt chocolate chips and then let them cool for a few minutes and then add them to my normal BC recipe. This is my favorite way of making chocolate BC. If it gets a bit thick, I just add a bit more milk.

I melt and add 3 oz. of unsweetened Baker's brand chocolate to each batch of mine. You will have to "eyeball" how much more milk you will need as well. I think I typically add 2-3 T. since the chocolate seems to dry it out.

I hope I am doing this right. I kind of new to the site. Love it!!!
Here is the link to this recipe. I used this one this last weekend and it was pretty good. I'm thinking I'm going to try some of the others listed here though. They sound good also.

Thanks for posting this because I was needing the same information. I use all Crisco BC, any suggestion for turning this into chocolate?

I add a good quality cocoa powder to my regular BC recipe. I add about 1/4 cup, then taste and add more if necessary. I may add more than most people but usually it is around 1/4-1/2 for a small recipe...more if I double the BC recipe.
