Hi, I am looking for couverture chocolate for making ganache and other decorations. Which of your products would you recommend? Thank you

Couverture chocolate is more a matter of the cocoa butter content than simply the cacao content, which is what is rated commonly in simple, dark chocolate.

Sorry, but I am not knowledgeable enough about chocolate to intelligently answer the question.

Did you use the max of 5 pounds of chocolate? Or did you refill? Curious to how long it will last with a large crowd like yours. I'm thinking about splurging for Chocoley's Just Melt It! No oil required! :] Thanks, Leslie

I am also curious to find unprocessed raw chocolate powder (butter) to make my own chocolate. so far none :(

Excellent chocolate which has a LONG life span. If it has white blooms, then it's been stored badly; otherwise, use and ejoy. It's simply been repackaged in a more manageable size.

Nice review! Just a comment about the hot cocoa thing... there are other varieties available, a very good one from Ghirardelli (who ARE known for the chocolate). So, I wouldn't say it's a drawback. There are also the same assortment of non-latte teas available.

yes,i believe these chocolates would be a very bad gift for an alcoholic (you are never really recovered). The alcohol in the candies is substantial and definitely `reflects each featured liquor. If I had this disease ,I would be tempted to buy a whole bottle of each and every flavor. DONT DO IT

Would you let me know if you found a grinder that can conch chocolate? I used to do it in a 500 lb grinder but I need a little one now for my home

yes this would be great to paint chocolate either solid { lota chocolate} or fill the center with cream mouse etc or bake a cake crumble it with frosting till it holds together like a cake pop paint your mold with chocolate or melts fill it with the cake mess and paint the end closed good luck have fun

Which one did you end up picking? Also, are you happy with your purchase? I am trying to decide between Wilton and Ateco as well and would love to know more about your experience!

I don't have experience with truffles. As for chocolate, I'm sure it would do a superb job if the temperature and consistency were correct. it really shines on any firm vegetable like carrots, radishes, onions and potatoes. Not so good on mushy tomatoes etc. it outstrips the quantity and quality of cut of a handheld by a wide margin. The one weak point is the pusher mechanism. I much prefer fingers to it. Need I mention it also does a superb job on slicing fingers. I highly recommend the Kevlar glove.

That is true. I ordered them to make a key lime curd for a wedding cake, not knowing they should be yellow. I have to say that the curd was really good and tasted great layered between "Americas Test Kitchens" recipe for classic white cake. I ended up making it for my daughters wedding cake 6 months later. I got tons of compliments. One hint for squeezing out the juice...use a good garlic press, putting 1/2 of the key lime in at a time.

i can't stand the chocolate flavor. I find berry and vanilla to be the best. I always mix with fruit and spinach or kale and it cover s the grittiness well.

I don't think you'd want to use fondant in this... they're very big capacity. Maybe if you were just trying to do an outline or something.... White chocolate should be fine as far as temps go, but be careful when you pull it out because the tips will be delicate.

I made mustaches with and without sticks. My chocolate was not that runny. I used almond bark as well as candy melts. You can cut off the little bit that runs into the stick area.

Sorry. It looks like it has been discontinued at SimplyBabyFurniture.com. I purchased mine in January.http://www.simplybabyfurniture.com/delta-bentley-toddler-guard-rail-chocolate.html

Possible if consistency is as butter-cream. Have yet to try decorating with melted chocolate. Hope that helps

Hi Richard! I totally recommend this product! it is of great, heavy duty quality and will make chocolate just fine! I used my grinder for making delicious coconut butter and chocolate. Worked like a champ! I have only used mine maybe 5 times and will selling it for a decent price if interested. I have moved onto Fruitarianism and have no use for my grinder. Let me know if interested. Have a pleasant day, Jay
