This recipe is so much better than any of the others I've tried! The corn syrup adds a nice consistency, and the cocoa powder makes just that much chocolatier. I recommend sifting the cocoa powder, since I had a few lumps in mine.

Works beautifully with sweetened chocolate BUT could anyone give me a clue since I have several pounds of dark but totally unsweetened chocolate that I'd like to use. A few spoonfuls of corn syrup won't be enough. Thanks.

 Teresa Russo (Wisconsin) replies:
Semi-sweet chocolate is around 30% sugar. So for this recipe use 1 3/4 cups chopped totally unsweetened chocolate + enough confectioners' sugar to make 2 1/2 cups total. I'd probably heat them together in a saucepan and stir/combine well before use.
