When it comes to baking chocolate, unsweetened chocolate is the most traditional form. In other words, it is made entirely of cocoa powder and chocolate liquor (also known as processed and ground cocoa beans), with no added sugar or flavoring, making it extremely bitter and unpleasant to bite into. Unsweetened chocolate is intended to be used in recipes where there are enough sweeteners to balance out the bitterness of the chocolate.

Silky Terrier Dog Breed Playing AroundEating baking Chocolate
Yes, it is possible to consume cooking chocolate. After all, you’re likely to consume it as a by-product of recipes such as brownies, cakes, and other baked goods anyway. It’s perfectly safe to consume, but the question is whether or not you’d want to in the first place. Given how bitter some of the chocolate can be, it might be a surprise to those who are accustomed to sweet and creamy chocolate flavors. Those who do not have a sweet tooth may find it to be more appealing.
Even if it’s a crisis situation where all the shops are closed and all you have in the cupboard is baking chocolate AND YOU NEED CHOCOLATE, drinking baking chocolate, gently melted with sugar and milk, is the closest thing you’ll get to a regular chocolate bar in a short amount of time. It contains 100 percent cacao, which is significantly higher than any of the major candy bar brands, and even higher than the fancy, sophisticated dark chocolate brands that are extremely expensive and other such things.
Being essentially cacao nibs in bar form, it contains no sugar of any kind, making it extremely bitter and difficult to keep in your mouth for long periods of time. While chocolate is not particularly nutritious (due to its high cocoa content), if you’re feeling adventurous or simply curious, there is nothing wrong with driving to Walmart, shuffling through the baking aisle, picking up a bar of Ghirardelli (100 percent cacao) baking chocolate, and bite into it right away.
Conclusion
It’s safe to eat baking chocolate. It is likely that you would not enjoy it very much. Baking chocolate, which is sold in bars, is intended to be chopped up and actually added to recipes that already contain sugar in order to impart a distinct “chocolate” flavor and feel to the finished product.
