I am a little suspicious of the fact that chocolate liquer is in quotes.
But I am still going to say crap.

Crap, only because the liquor is found in both the brown and the white chocolate.

Fact. The cocoa nibs are ground until the liquor forms. (This is not the same kind of liquor that contains alcohol and that you drink!)

FWIW, I think "white chocolate" contains cocoa butter, but no actual chocolate liquor.

fact, costa is right. chocolate liquor is pure unsweetened chocolate, created after the grounding of the cocoa nibs. i love watching the food network and learning things!

LOL @ Landi! I think that's one of the places where I learned about chocolate. Maybe from "Follow that Food"?

As a dietitian who presents "Chocolate Chocolate Chocolate" aka "For the love of chocolate" and a big fan of Good Eats on Food Network, I should definately know this one. So I'll go with FACT.

Chocolate liquor has nothing to do with alcohol. See landi's post above. Baking chocolate (very bitter) is pretty much 100% cocoa, while semi-sweet is 40-60% and milk chocolate is 10-20% (the cheaper the chocolate, the lower the amount of chocolate liquor).

And "white chocolate" should not be called chocolate - one should have the chocolate liquor to be called chocolate, and that pretentous white stuff is just cocoa butter and sugar.

Did you know that the saturated fat in cocoa butter does NOT raise serum cholesterol? That is because steric acid is a short chain saturated fat (it's the long chain fats that the human body converts to cholesterol).

Did you know that you cannot TASTE chocolate? Nope, you can taste the sugar, or the bitter, but not the "chocolate". Chocolate derives it's unique FLAVOR from the SMELL of chocolate. Try this experiment: Pinch your nose, place a chocolate nib (like a semi-sweet chip) on the center of your tongue (don't let go, don't let it melt) - you taste nothing. Touch it to the tip of your tongue and you should taste "sweet". Now SMELL it and the wondeful chocolate aroma will overtake you.

ENJOY!

Fact - only because Landi's post makes sense. The word liquer may not necessarily refer to alcohol.

Twiggy, I'm not sure. Though that didn't stop me from spelling it that way.

Crap!! The chocolate security rating is red because the craving is high. Make mine semi-sweet.

I hadn't seen where you had said "nibs," Kona, but since you have a whole wheelbarrow full, I give you super kudos.

Kona is clearly the nib-master around here!
