The flavor and texture of a perfectly prepared chocolate is unlike any other culinary delight in all the world. Yet if you’re not careful, your chocolate could wind up a disaster:

• it could be crumbly in texture
• it could have “lumps” or a graininess to it rather than a silky smoothness
• it could be dull or waxy in appearance
• it could get that gross white coating on the outside, known as chocolate bloom.

Knowing the science of chocolate will help you avoid these pitfalls.
