5.0 out of 5 starsNice High Quality Chocolate at a Very Reasonable Price
Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2018
Most premium chocolate for dipping is $10 to $20 a pound plus shipping, but at this Add-On price of $5.24 for 20 ounces, this chocolate is near-premium at an attractive price. I like to make fine chocolates at home, made with proper tempering, and these "baking" chips are a great value for me.
For my taste I tend to prefer a chocolate that is mid-way between milk chocolate and bitter-sweet dark chocolate. I have a very good source for high quality milk chocolate at a favorable price that I blend about 60/40 or 70/30, with these Ghirardelli Bittersweet baking chips being the lesser part. When properly melted and tempered, this blend makes a tasty dipping chocolate with nice snap, mouth feel, and flavor. In any event, it is very, very much superior to the imitation-chocolate-like concoction that comes on low cost box chocolates, and waxy Easter chocolate candy.
In my opinion, this is very nice economically-priced, good quality dark chocolate.
Those popular peanut-butter cups with the name that begins with "R" are pretty darn tasty, but it is easy make a superior tasting version at home for only about 1/3 the cost. And when you make them at home, they won't incorporate the controversial laboratory-created chemical fat substitute for cocoa butter that "R" uses to lower their cost.
