Review: Value - I purchased this dipping chocolate, so that I can do my own strawberries for Valentine's day. With very little effort it saves $$$$. The flavor of the dark is delicious, I am glad to have found it on desertcart and by the way, it came the very next day. Additionally, they are great for Molten Lava Cakes, Brownies as well as Ganache. That's why I purchased the 5 Lb pack this time.
Review: Valentine's Day for the Win!!!! - Decent melting chocolate...Check, Strawberry's...Check, cherries...Check, frozen banana...Check. Large wine glass and bottle of wine...check. Wish I took pictures, quite proud of my work but....my wife ate it already. Advice to those who buy flowers and chocolates.... 🛑 I made chocolate covered fruits for my wife for the past 5 years. I usually go to the store to buy the kit but gave this product a try. Melts well, tastes good. I'm not a fan of dark chocolate but this was surprising nice. I think you get a better deal than the kits with this also. Things to get; Parchment paper, a very large wine glass, fruit. Heat up the chocolate 30 seconds in the microwave and stir up don't go over a minute at a time or you can burn the chocolate. Make sure fruit is washed and padded dry, dip fruit, set on parchment paper wait for it to harden again, place covered fruit in large wine glass. Accompany that with a bottle of wine and give your significant other the set... You made it so be proud. Good luck.
