online groceries international shipping???

Amazon.com has it if they will ship internationally. They ship it in

8 ounce boxes with a minimum of 12 boxes at about $32 but its a start.

Don't forget to add international postage to this price, and the customs charge + fee for importing the stuff into the EU - could turn into very expensive brownies.

You might check if a UK webshop has it (co.uk ending), but I'd say test it with what you have available.

Claudia, let's see if this website can help you with chocolate substitutions. While you're there, you might as well add it to your favorites. As long as you're cooking in a furr'n country, you'll probably need to keep it handy. HTH Polly

Amazon will not ship this product outside the 48 contiguous states. Won't even ship to Hawaii or Alaska.

I have used chocolate bars made for eating for cooking. Yes on reducing the sugar, and you need to use a fair bit more chocolate than the original recipe calls for. I usually double for milk chocolate, and use one and a half what is called for with dark, and then taste to see if it needs more. You can substitute unsweetened cocoa powder at a rate of 3 tablespoons cocoa powder plus one tablesspoon butter or shortening for every ounce of chocolate it calls for. I usually just add the cocoa powder to the dry ingredients and the extra shortening to the shortening. When it is a recipe that does not call for shortening, I either add the butter when it says to add the chocolate, or mix the cocoa and the melted butter and add for chocolate. Depends on the recipe.

This place will ship internationally:

That is a direct to one of their cooking chocolates. They specialize in non-american food, and that particular chocolate is Croatian. I buy specialty items from them and they are very reliable at least within the US. The shipping fees would likely do you in, but since almost everything they sell is from around the world, you might be able to find it closer to home by searching brand names.

Do not look at the candy! The kirsch cherry cordials are divine, and the gummies are the best in the whole world. They also have tira misu bonbons (szalon kukor). It is not safe to look!

NightMist got a sour cherry compote from there that is also pretty marvelous

fwiw, the oat fudge slice recipe i sent you uses cocoa powder. if it is one of the 'trys', i do hope you like it. we find it scrumptious and no one need know it has oatmeal in it. i reckon that oatmeal makes it healthy too. shhhh, dont tell anyone tho. j.

I have all the ingredients in house to make brownies from scratch thanks to all your recipe contributions. So to the (hopefully) delight of my three DD's, I will be testing 3 different recipes this afternoon and the winner will get made three times tomorrow for desert at New Year's eve dinner at a friend's house (she and her family specifically request "my" brownies every year; until now I always used the BC mix, but can't get to the only shop that sells them this year). Hence the idea of making them from scratch.

Anyway, after that detour, I just realized that my "stash" of baker's unsweetened chocolate is getting low. I have not been able to find unsweetened chocolate here in Spain ANYWHERE. The best I can do is 85% cocoa in a "desert" chocolate, but it does have some sugar in it.

So, is there anywhere I can get Baker's chocolate online that will ship internationally?

Or is it OK to use the 85% chocolate and simply reduce the added sugar a little?

After all, you know that Alaska is soooooo far away. Tried to order from Brookstone once, online, and it wouldn't work. Called and their excuse was that it was not technically possible to handle orders yet to Alaska. This was only two years ago. I about choked laughing and asked them how Amazon, LL Bean and a whole list of others were capable of it. No answer.

When I lived in the wilds of Alaska in the early 90's, we actually caught LL Bean in a wording problem. Their catalog at the time said they only shipped to the "continental" U.S. and therefore could not ship to Alaska. We called and asked if we had split off and floated away from the North American Continent and they said no and they shipped it. The next catalog the word "continental" was changed to "contiguous".
