Baking Ingredients

We tasted real white chocolate alongside "fake" supermarket brands to determine if the real deal was worth tracking down.

Cinnamon used to be the most basic spice in your cupboard. Now it’s gone upscale. So will a fancy brand from Vietnam costing $8 an ounce actually make baked goods taste better?

We tested one brand of stone-ground oats. Could they please our tasters' palates?

For emergencies only?

We prefer rolled oats for baking. Here are our recommendations for what brand to use.
