If the chocolate has 20% cocoa that leaves a lot of room for junk such as sugar, emulsifiers, etc. and theres the danger. If the chocolate is 85% cocoa there is far less room for additives. It then has a bitter but delicious addictive flavour. Albatross; check the ingredients, other than cocoa, in the chocolate you are buying.

Is it like, you get a solid state piece of chocolate, dunk it in liquid chocolate, like from B(I) through to B(VI) state, then as it where, you then dunk that when it's still wet into powdered chocolate. This type of Truffle would then resemble a AGB star and a RGB star, but both are big, chocolatey, and about to die (be eaten), but the AGB Truffles are bigger chocs, and thus more luminous (hundreds and thousands?), and prone to screwing around with the amount of taste you get? Chocolate science: It works, bitches. Claire Julianne,

Would a car running on dark chocolate, for instance, be more economical than one running on milk or white chocolate? Personally, I think this would be a bad idea, on balance; if the cocoa crop was turned into biofuel, we'd see a worldwide shortage of chocolate, and then there'd be trouble. :-) The point is, though, as chocolate is composed of hydrocarbons, can we use it as a fuel source?
