It says cooking chocolate but all I have in is normal dark and normal milk chocolate... you think these would work too?
Thanks!

You should be okay with the dark, the milk choc will make it too sweet! I never use cooking choc. I usually get the 74 percent cocoa choc from Lidl or Tesco, makes lovely frosting!

Hope this helps!
