CallebautRecipe No. 811 Finest Belgian Dark Chocolate With 54.5% Cacao, 5.51 Pound

I love to bake and I do a lot of baking every Christmas. Every Christmas I order 5.5 lbs of Belgian Chocolate to make my treats with. Yes, the quality of chocolate makes every bit of difference. If you can afford to upgrade to these wafers - you will not be disappointed. American chocolate contains a lot of wax and fillers - it is not nearly as creamy and rich as the chocolate from Europe. These wafer are super easy to work with and measure easily (the same as chocolate chips). I use it in cookies, squares, fudge, you name it. It melts down well - into a smooth and creamy chocolate dipping sauce. You could easily use it as a fondue chocolate (in my opinion). The product came fresh. My friends and family RAVE about how awesome my baking is - and the ingredients I believe are a key reason why. If you want to take your baking to the "next" level this chocolate by Callebaut will do that! Admittedly, these chocolate wafers are exceptional right out of the bag and I urge you to try some prior to using it in your baking to see the difference in quality. I have tried the semi sweet as well as the milk chocolate both with success. I use a food saver - to keep fresh whatever I don't use. You can't go wrong with Callebaut wafers. One caution - be aware of WHEN you are ordering this item. You want fairly cool or cold temps because they will melt. There is no guarantee where your parcel might end up and if it does end up in the sun - you will end up with a soupy mess. I usually look ahead a week or two to ensure that the weather will be in my favor.

Excellent product. Melts well taste great on its own and if you don’t want to eat the chocolate by itself then why would you want to put it in your baked goods? The price is higher than other chocolates but it is so with it. Quality ingredients, nice mouth feel. I will purchase again

Callebaut 811 is equivalent to a semisweet chocolate. It is good for ganaches, fillings, frosting, brownies etc. It is a delicious high quality chocolate. Great for melting and dipping too.

Can’t beat this chocolate. Best flavor. Best for melting too

Excellent, long-lasting Belgian semi-sweet chocolate chips! I use in almond biscotti and they work beautifully to melt in your mouth but not in your hand :)

Delicious dark chocolate with just the right amount of sweetness. Delivered in July and arrived in perfect condition from Dasher's Spice & Beans.

Great product, the chocolate is amazing quality and was given a great price on it.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Checked my phone by the hour to make sure I didn't miss the delivery as I didn't want melted chocolate. Great taste and quality.
