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

Why wouldn’t you use quality chocolate when baking? This chocolate is smooth. Bakes and melts wonderfully. I’ve been baking with Callebaut for at least 7 years. It worth the slight splurge for the elevated taste compared to the most common grocery store American chocolate.

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

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.

Best Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips ever! I love to bake, and I love Chocolate. It's my firm belief that your end product is only going to be as good as the ingredients that you use. That is why I use these lovely chocolate chips from Belgium, they are the best! I highly recommend them. Thank you.carolintallahassee

Best dark chocolate. I used these chocolates in all of my desserts

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

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.

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.
