Dark couverture chocolate is used in a variety of ways from decorations and toppings, to melting for fondue or truffles, or creating a delicious, glossy ganache. It can also be tempered (heated and cooled to stabilise for candy and confection making) to give it a smooth, glossy finish. This also keeps it from melting easily when on your fingers, and is the perfect set up to creating beautifully chocolate-covered delights.
