    i use drinking chocolate instead of cocoa anytime i'm cooking something that needs cocoa - not enough call for cocoa here but drinking chocolate is a fave so always in the cupboard...

    Yep, and if you use drinking chocolate reduce the amount of sugar in the recipe

    This is what I have done in the past...

    1 oz unsweetened chocolate = 3 Tbsp. cocoa + 1 Tbsp butter

    So you just need to reduce the amount of butter as well

    Thanks girls!


    Bathsheba - it is for a recipe for Melting Moments that I found on the side of a YLC Cornflour packet!!! Caught my attention right away esp when they suggested sticking the little biscuits together with NUTELLA!!!!!!! My kids are going to flip out this arvo when they see these ready for them after their nap! lol

    Sarah-H - I will jot your tip down for future ref. Cheers for that!

    Brggisy - We always have Milo in the pantry, DH's version of my 'must have coffee in the pantry - always!' lol

    LaDeeDa - MILO!!! Will give that ago.
