GhirardelliDark Coating Wafers, Dark Chocolate, 25 lbs

A neighbor and I are splitting this box of chocolate wafers to make hot chocolate bombs. She's got a thriving side hustle and I make the hot chocolate bombs as gifts for friends/family. The point is that these chocolate wafers are very easy to use whether you are a pro (neighbor) or amateur (me). They don't need to be tempered and melt very easily. Being Ghirardelli, these taste like real chocolate. They come in one giant bag inside the box so if you need to divide it up like me, you'll have to find your own (ziploc) bags. They came in perfect condition with no melting. Recommended if you need a lot of melting chocolate!

I received these melting wafers yesterday and immediately tried them out with some chocolate-covered strawberries to make use of some giant, super-ripe strawberries I picked up from a local farmer. This chocolate melts SO SMOOTH, and though the description says no tempering needed, I tempered them anyway since it was my first time using them and I was unfamiliar. I tempered the melting wafers in a KitchenAid Precise Heat bowl, final temperature 88 degrees F, and every single strawberry produced a smooth, flawless finish that set rapidly, dried to a glossy finish, had a satisfying snap to its bite, and the outstanding flavor you can expect from Ghirardelli. Next time I will try thinning the chocolate a little to try for a thinner shell, since my first time using the melts uncut produced a shell a little thicker than I intended.

Cudos for the care and thought given to shipping. Ghirardelli has always been a dependable, quality product, but I did not consider the temps packages endure inside transport when it is mid-90's outside. FoodserviceDirect Inc considered these conditions: my chocolate arrived in great shape inside an insulated shipping container with several ice packs.Thank you very much. I will be a return customer.

This chocolate is so easy to work with. I use Guittard for my company and it's a pain in the ass. Needs to be tempered more. Wish I could afford to buy this as my regular :(

Great product! Love making chocolate covered sweets using these. Very easy to use and taste great.

I just started a bakery and i was already buying this chocolate at Sam’s club and the taste from this 25lb box is actually better!! Im very pleased and i know my customers will enjoy it also!

This chocolate is absolutely not the same as the melting wafers you buy in smaller bags. The chocolate arrived and immediately I could tell the consistency was different.. it melted just fine although it doesn't dry completely solid and it has zero sheen.. its dull. I would never buy the bulk package again. So disappointing. I use Gheridelli all the time and I've not had this issue before.Money wasted on a product that is no longer as it used to be.

Wondrful chocolate flavor and easy to use. Makes fabulous ganache.
