  13. *IMPORTANT NOTES FOR PEOPLE WITH ALLERGIES*
  14. Bittersweet chocolate does not contain milk, but due to the process by which it is manufactured, there may be trace amounts of milk and nuts found in it. If you have a severe allergy to either of these products, you can substitute 76 grams of Cocoa Powder, 116 grams of white granulated sugar, 45 grams of vegetable shortening and 11 grams of water for the 8 oz of bittersweet chocolate in this recipe.
