Why did the flavour of my chocolate change?

I was making a cake, and like any semi-experienced baker, I stuck my finger in the melted chocolate to taste it. For some reason the bakers chocolate tasted WAY more bitter than it did before it was melted. Is this a chemical thing, or is it possible that it had something to do with the heat on my tongue?

  1. if you were licking a lollipop or something and then tasted it, your tongue would be able to tell you only that it was less sweet. It's kind of like your hands tricking you when testing temperature of 3 glasses of water. put one hand in ice water, put the other in hot water, then put them both in normal water.
  2. No, you have nothing to blame, what is happening is that there are several types of chocolate, bitter, mediumbitter, and sweet, of course, the chocolate more fine, is the bitter, but it is the less pleasant, it must be diluted with sugar, and if you wish that does not have calories, add sugar to your taste, in the sachets of proceeds of fructos SPLENDA, or you can use another sweetener of those who are used to bakery, which is low in calories.
