I don’t want to use "chocolate" almond bark to make candies using melted chocolate. I tried melting milk chocolate chocolate chips and it just became a big chalky lump. Anyone have a recipe for homemade, from-scratch chocolate that will harden when cooled? I want to make various forms of chocolate bark treats with it. Thanks so much.

I was making my own double chocolate chip frappuccino and it calls for chocolate chips. I blended all the ingredients and when I poured the drink in a cup there was a whole clump of un-blended chocolate chips at the bottom.
How can I blend them properly and how can I make them not sink?

How much baking soda neutralizes the acid in chocolate for when I want to add chocolate chips to, say, a shortbread recipe?

I made brownies the other day and the recipe said to use bittersweet chocolate. Before I made the brownies, I tried one of the bittersweet chocolate chips and it tasted really bad. Also, when I ate the brownies, it tasted kinda bitter. Why not use milk chocolate and make them sweet?

Is there any "trick of the trade" to get decorations such as micro chocolate chips and colored sprinkles to adhere to the top of baked goods? This has to be done AFTER the baking process and WITHOUT frosting. This is either an impossible task or there is some ingenious idea out there somewhere.
