90% Dark Chocolate- How can I use it?
Unless you have a refiner, you can't add sugar to it without it being grainy. Sugar simply won't dissolve in chocolate.
There are many things you can do with this chocolate, two of them being:
1. You can use this chocolate for baking.
2. You can blend this chocolate with other chocolate to create different intensities. It would be helpful to you if you knew the actual fat % vs cocoa solids %. However, you could definitely take a very sweet milk chocolate and add this to it to intensify it and reduce the sweetness.
Hope this helps.
Brad.
Thank you very much. I am not sure of the fat % but trial and error will tell. I am just starting off in the chocolate world and am thankful for any help I can get!

Two changes we made with the chocolate is that this time we winnowed the chocolate. This time we didn't use a blow dryer to melt the chocolate. Two improvements with the chocolate is that the melanger didn't get clogged this time and everyone put in work.
