Correction: no alcohol. References to "chocolate liquor" on the label are
not talking about something alcoholic, but rather, the pure ground-up cocoa
nibs. It's the same thing as cocoa mass. More often the manufacturers don't
use cocoa powder, because it's uneconomical and inefficient to remove the
cocoa butter from chocolate liquor, only to add it back later. However,
I've seen labels that definitely list cocoa powder as an ingredient, so
some manufacturers do do this.
