NOTE:
~----
SELECTING THE RIGHT CHOCOLATE: You'll find three basic types of chocolate
in the baking supplies department of most supermarkets-- semisweet
chocolate, unsweetened chocolate, and sweet chocolate. The semisweet
chocolate is made from chocolate that is just slight sweetened with sugar.
Unsweetened chocolate is the original baking or cooking chocolate and has
no added flavorings or sugar. And sweet chocolate, such as the German
cooking chocolate used in the Chocolate Pots de Creme recipe, is
chocolate mixed with sugar and sometimes additional cocoa butter or
flavorings.
