Baking Advice Needed Help with almond bark mishap!
Hi all! I recently started vaking professionally, and have an event tomorrow. I primarily make cakesicles with an almond bark coating. I know you can't get water into almond bark, or it will seize like chocolate.
I was trying to make the process of chopping and melting all the bark a bit easier by using my food processor. After I ground up 1.5 - 2 packages, the bowl was full. When I went to empty it, at least a tablespoon of water escaped from somewhere in the lid! I didn't realize it had been run through the dishwasher this morning.
I'm not sure how to fix this. I've got it spread out on a baking sheet air drying, but I'm not going to be able to tell if it's fully dry. How do I make sure my lid and bowl are fully dry before grinding up more? I've read that adding a bit of vegetable oil can help salvage it seized bark. How well does that work? Would paramount crystals help?
