is that chocolate or poop?

I am a baker.  We make a lot of things from scratch at work.  Last week I tried to make Oreos from scratch.  Well, not exactly the whole cookie, only the chocolate part because we use Oreo crumbs in a dessert.  The cookie dough looked like poop.  Seriously.  And the result was less than satisfactory.  It kind of tasted like chocolate animal crackers, you know?  The good people at Oreo make a good cookie and I have yet to duplicate their recipe.  I will try again.
