Callebaut Finest Belgian Dark Chocolate, Brown, 400 g

Only 54.5 cocoa solids but nevertheless still good quality and taste good in recipes… and for nibbling !! But not cheap

I have a hot chocolate machine which the manufactures recommend using only flakes or powder. As I had run out of my last sachet of flakes, I thought I would try these (even though they are not advertised for using in machines). I was really impressed with how well the machine handled the drops (just as well as flakes or powder) All the chips completely melted into the milk and I ended up with a really tasty, smooth hot chocolate. As this is the first time using the chips in my chocolate machine, I am not able to say if this will damage the machine over time, but I am more than happy to take that risk as they were so tasty (I am not advocating this for others, this is just how I used them and the risk I am happy to take with my machine!). I would certainly recommend these for anyone looking for good quality chips for making a quality hot chocolate drink in a pan or the microwave.

I bought these to make hot chocolate stirrers for Xmas but will be buying another bag as they have turned out to be so versatile. The chocolate melts very well with a smooth consistency and fluidity. The taste is beautiful, rich and full but not as bitter as a 70% chocolate so it works well for a variety of uses. As I mentioned, this time I melted and poured into moulds with spoons for hot chocolate stirrers - I found 80g of the drops was a perfect amount for a 200ml cup for a very rich drink. The chocolate melted into the milk quickly and easily. My chocolate snob husband was impressed with the quality and taste, I was impressed with the ease of use and the price point for the large bag. I think these will definitely be a regular purchase and I look forward to trying the other chocolates now too.

Great chocolate

Good quality of chocolate for professional baking. The price is getting more and more expensive though
