So, I've accidentally ended up with some compound chocolate on my hands. I say accidentally because I was planning to buy myself some baking chocolate but as airheaded as I can be, I assumed compound chocolate was the same as baking chocolate [just a lot cheaper] Only to later find out that it was "substitute chocolate" and not "real" persay. I bought one dark compound and one white compound [200g each]
So the question is as is, what CAN you use compound chocolate for?? I mean seems like a basic question and I'd usually google this kind of straight forward questions, but I've tried that and.....there seems to be some conflicting answers? Some people say you can just replace any recipe that requires chocolate with compound, while some people say that you should never use compound chocolate in any kind of baking and it should only be used as garnishing. So.....here I am asking for you experienced bakers for help instead.
I was actually planning to make some fudge and mousse with these chocolates, can I use compound in those baking? Either yes or no, please enlighten me with any other recipes I could use for these chocolate so it doesn't go to waste. [even if it was cheap]
