Heavenly chocolate
Photo: Chocolate Toffee Pecan Tart
Although supermarket brands are perfectly fine in baking, a premium chocolate can elevate a dessert from good to "oh my goodness." Watch for Michel Cluizel and Valrhona in specialty food shops; Callebaut in baker's supply shops or bulk stores; Lindt in grocery stores; and organic, fair-trade brands, such as Cocoa Camino, in health food stores.
