1 1/2 pounds of chocolate in this frosting!

I was eyeing December BA's Peppermint Meringue cake with chocolate buttercream and the frosting calls for 1 1/2# of bittersweet chocolate. thats mind boggling to me, but I am still considering making it for a dinner party.

My ? is cocoa has caffiene in it right? I dont want send guests into an insomniac night. So I am wondering since you get 10-12 slices, how much that wouild equate to.

I have no idea but I am making it for T-day so will let you know if anyone reacts though I seriously doubt it and I'm guessing from the richness there will be more than 12 servings in this house.

YOu are brave making this on Tday! Maybe the triptophan in the turkey will balance out the caffeine

Cant wiat to here the review and how it came together

1 1/2 pounds of chocolate = 24 oz
each of 12 slices would contain 2 oz of chocolate

Amounts will vary depending on brand.

Bittersweet chocolate has approximately 5-10mg caffeine per oz
Brewed coffee has approximately 100-150mg caffeine per 8 oz cup

Thanks dreamer, I thought chocolate had much more caffeine than that
