I've never used German chocolate or made an icebox cake, but I would
just walk into Trader Joe's and buy the bars they have at the checkout
counter. I'm pretty sure there is a 60% somewhere but they're mostly
70-85%. I use them all and have been pleased with the results. I
know you don't have Trader Joe's nearby, so where do you plan to find
the chocolate?
