Brownies Question

TINY said:

I'm baking Brownies what's the different between dark
unsweetened cocoa and dark cocoa

Is this a test? Did you read the labels?

bulleted item: Do not substitute instant cocoa mix for
unsweetened cocoa. Instant cocoa mix contains milk powder
and sugar and could alter the flavor and texture of the
finished baked product.

I did read the labels I have unsweetened and when I went to the store that
was all I seen there was the unsweetened or else I would not have ask the
question

Did you read the link? Did you fully read my reply?

If your real question is "do I use sweetened or unsweetened
cocoa for my brownies", the answer is "unsweetened". You
didn't ask that question though. You asked about a
difference between a specific type of cocoa and an
unspecific type.... we aren't there to look at the labels
with you, so you have to help us out a bit. Otherwise, we
can only guess. My guess is that the "other one" is
Safeway's European Style hot cocoa which says "Dark
Chocolate" on the can.

You indicated that you have the correct ingredient at home,
now go make those brownies and report back to rfc after you
taste them!

The unsweetened is in the brownies and the dark cocoa is in the frosting

How do they TASTE? You forgot to report that part. <G>

FYI: Here's a SUPER easy frosting to try the next time you
make brownies: Throw a bag (my brownies use a 9 x 13 pan) of
semi-sweet chocolate chips on top as soon as you take them
out of the oven. Wait for about 5 minutes and then spread.
They won't melt, but when you take a spatula to them, the
chips are soft and spreadable. The spread will cool and
harden into a perfect brownie "frosting".

Cocoa is unsweetened. Instant hot cocoa is sweetened. Not
for baking. Ground chocolate is powdery fine ground
chocolate, not cocoa, and is sweetened. For brownies, you
want unsweetened cocoa.

They taste great I've made them before I just can't remember about the cocoa
difference

Wonderful! Did you look at that Land o' Lakes website I gave
you? It's very informative and well laid out so you could
print it out and put it in your recipe binder.
