RECIPES BY: KEVIN TOUHY

Swap out your cocoa recipe for fine Luker Oat M!lk Chocolate, which delivers a higher quality of taste and mouthfeel than traditional cocoa powder. Here are some fun facts from Chef Kevin:

1. "The quality of the cocoa used in manufactured fine chocolate is higher [than traditional cocoa powders].

2. The particle size of fine chocolate is smaller, providing a smoother mouthfeel.

3. The higher fat content of fine chocolate provides a richer, full bodied experience."

Once you try cocoa with a fine chocolate like the ones from Luker, you'll never go back to cocoa powder!
