While you're frying up some eggs and bacon, we're cooking up something else: a way to celebrate today's food holiday and the most delicious finds on TV. January 10 is National Bittersweet Chocolate Day. In order to be identified as “bittersweet” or "semisweet" by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, chocolate must contain at least 35 percent cacao. The more cacao in chocolate, the less sweet it will taste; however, one brand’s semisweet chocolate could contain more sugar than another brand’s bittersweet chocolate, so make sure you taste test your chocolate before trying to substitute it in a recipe. And by all means, taste chocolate all the time – not just when you’re cooking with it. What's on TV? “Health” – Fox Movie Channel, 4 p.m. ET “Emeril Live” – Cooking Channel, 7 p.m. ET “Cake Boss: Next Great Baker” – TLC, 8 p.m. ET “Ratatouille” – Disney, 10 p.m. ET |
