Add Rum Or Burboun To Dark Chocolate

Can you add rum or bourbon to dark chocolate when melting and still have it solidify?

I would like to flavor my rice krispy bark with rum or bourbon for the holidays. Will it still solidify?


How much should I add for 1# of dark chocolate make n mold wafers?

Hi Sandi,

I'm pretty certain you can flavor the chocolate as you would like, but I think you'll do better using rum (or bourbon) flavoring rather than rum itself.


To be honest, I don't use alcohol at all myself, so I'm not really knowledgeable on it's strength. The reason I say that is because I "think" that the flavorings would be stronger than the actual liquor so that you could use less. You may know better than me about that.


As for the amount, I would suggest that you wouldn't want to use much more than a few teaspoons per pound of chocolate if you still want it to set.


Sorry if this isn't much help. Perhaps another visitor will chime in with some helpful tips.
