ok guys urgent request lol aren't they always?? I'm doing chocolate petit fours and i have a recipe for poured fondant that says to add a block of unsweetened choc. squares but when i opened the box there are like 8 individual blocks and i have NO clue how much to put??? Anyone know anything about poured fondant??? Please help!

It said a block of unsweet choc squares? Or a box? A block is one ounce. So a box sounds like a lot to me, but I've never made the stuff. Anybody else?

I believe each block is 1 oz. Don't know if that helps..sorry..

it said a block of choc. squares? Not sure if it just means one of the blocks or if it means that some of the choc is packaged together??

front of the package should tell how many oz in the whole thing

the thing is, i don't know how many ounces i need! I know, not good at all.

What else does the recipe call for? That will help narrow down how much chocolate you need to add.


Cindy

cup of milk,2lb sugar, 1sp almondflavor, 2 1/2 tbl crisco Thank yall so much.

One square of the chocolate should do it. One of the little blocks.

Kathy

whole bar...based on amount of milk.

wait, doug do you mean 1 block or more?

it would look like it should take at least 4 oz or even 8 oz and possibly 16 oz.

How big is the full block you have?

i have 8 oz.

ok guys i have resolution!!! I called the lady who made the recipe (DUH!) and she said generally 1-2 blocks depending on how dark you want it. THank you all soooooooooo much i know i can always depend on you guys!

well, that's a lot of sugar and milk..so i'd go with the full 8 oz.

One block of unsweetened means 1 oz. Unsweetened is always wrapped in 1 oz. segments. It is very strong. If you want it very dark, use two oz. or blocks. Don't use more!
