Coo Coo for Cocoa Powder

Ghirardelli Chocolate unsweetened cocoa powder is the ingredient that gives Animated Cupcakes chocolate essence or its intense flavoring. Ghirardelli has a higher cocoa butter content than Hershey's or Neslte cocoa powder. It is evident in the texture, color and aroma.

Premium cocoa powder usually contains 22-24% cocoa butter. The color is usually rich, a bit reddish, and has a bitter chocolate taste to it.

Ghirardelli unsweetened cocoa powder can be found at specialty supermarkets for about $6.50 -$9.00 for a 10 oz. can.
