Callebaut Recipe No. 823 Finest Belgian Milk Chocolate With 33.6% Cacao, 20.8% Milk, 5.51 Pound

Callebaut 823 is truly the best chocolate I’ve ever used. The flavor is rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced — not too sweet, not too heavy, just pure smooth Belgian milk chocolate. It melts beautifully and is incredibly easy to work with, whether you’re baking, molding, dipping, or making desserts. The texture is silky, and the results always look professional. Every recipe I use it in tastes amazing, and you can really tell the difference in quality compared to regular chocolate. Absolutely my favorite chocolate — highly recommended for anyone who loves premium flavor and perfect melting results.

It is exactly what I expected. The chocolate tastes great, works well for my baked goods and bon bons.

My favorite chocolate for making truffles. Very happy and have repurchased several time.

I buy these every Christmas! These take your baking to a step above! Most chocolate has wax in it or a binding agent for consistency. This baking chocolate has 1000x more flavor and melts on your tongue! I can taste a major difference between it and most baking chocolate. This chocolate can be used in chocolate molds, be drizzled over treats, or used in something as chocolate chip cookies (they'll beat anything you've tasted). Yes, they are more expensive than what you'd find at the grocery store, but it's totally worth the money when you taste the final result.

My boyfriend and I are obsessed with dipping croissants into chocolate, I make a sort of rich, thicker hot chocolate by melting milk chocolate into whole milk and half&half. I wanted to try a more "professional" chocolate brand, like one you can't buy in a grocery store. I did my research and the two names that popped up were Valrhona and Callebaut. I'm not a chef by any means, and wasn't 100% sure in what to get, so I decided to try both. The Valrhona arrived first, and we were impressed! ...And then the Callebaut arrived. Let me tell you that I am not exaggerating when I say that this is hands the down the smoothest, best tasting chocolate I've ever had. You can literally taste the high quality. And for 50$ for a 5.5lbs bag, that's roughly 10 bucks a pound? Crazy. I'm so glad I bought it, it'll last us a good while, it looks and tastes super fancy. I without a doubt will be buying again and trying out their other products! So so impressed. If you are looking for the best quality milk chocolate you've ever had, look no further. 10/10!!!!!!

Great taste and quality chocolate. The texture is smooth and creamy. Although a bit pricey, it is cheaper in bulk.

I've used this chocolate many times and it is a fine couverture chocolate. However I would not order from this vendor again. The chocolate arrived in the bag bricked. All the callets were fused together into a solid, much less convenient mass. The chocolate must have been heated along the way long enough to have been melted. No exchange policy means I am stuck with it.

Very good chocolate for making your own treats
