Ghirardelli White Chocolate Ground Case, Six 3-Pound Cannisters

By Chocolate


While the price for this 3lb tub is outrageous (I bought mine online for $11), Ghirardelli's white chocolate powder is the ONLY way to go for white mochas. My recipe: I use a Starbucks Barista and espresso pods from www.podhead.com (Bristot).

in an 18oz glass...

Mix:
2oz espresso brewed with 1 pod (not quite as strong, but more economical than brewing 1.5 oz using 2 pods)
3T Ghirardelli white chocolate powder

Add:
Whole milk to your desired dilution (I add about 10oz)

Top with ice and, if desired, whipped cream.

Most importantly, experiment to find your perfect ratio of espresso to powder to milk.Buy Ghirardelli White Chocolate Ground Case, Six 3-Pound Cannisters!

Ghirardelli Chocolate Assortment Holiday Gift Bag, 20 Chocolate Squares

I ordered a couple of these to add to gift baskets this year and will likely order some more.

Ghirardelli Ghirardelli Double Chocolate Premium Hot Cocoa (Case of 40 packets)

By Chocolate


the brand labels itself as premium and the ingredients listed on the web suggests it contains only cocoa, milk powder and sugar, so imagine our surprise when the ingredients listed on the packet include hydrogenated oils. we had bought the products because we thought is was better and were disappointed. the seller would not respond to our e-mails for return.Buy Ghirardelli Ghirardelli Double Chocolate Premium Hot Cocoa (Case of 40 packets)!

Ghirardelli Chocolate Limited Edition Peppermint Bark Squares, 8.31-Ounce Candy Cane Tins (Pack of 2)

By Chocolate


This Ghirardelli Peppermint Bark chocolate has 3 component to it which makes it taste very interesting as you take a bite at it. Chocolate layer (available in milk or dark or 60% dark), white chocolate layer, and peppermint crust. It's kind of unorthodox to use peppermint (or replace mint) with chocolate (as you might be tired of the peppermint candy cane), but they didn't put too much peppermint crust so it is good. but enough to give the kick of the mint taste (and mintier than the regular mint chocolate)

If you like mint or peppermint, there is a good chance that you will like this peppermint bark chocolate (maybe not at the first bite). This is perfect for the holiday time, after dinner and dessert.

I like the Dark Chocolate version compare to the Milk chocolate version because the white chocolate layer is already milky and sweet, as well as the peppermint crust, so the dark chocolate will give more balance and reduce the overall sweetness of this chocolate

If you like this chocolate, you might want to try the after eight mint chocolate which is also very good. You might also want to try (if you haven't already) the Ghirardelli Mint Chocolate (Dark Chocolate with white mint filling). It's really good.

The candy cane tins that comes with this chocolate is really cool (though I like the ornament ball tins better). This item is perfect as a gift and it is limited edition too.Buy Ghirardelli Chocolate Limited Edition Peppermint Bark Squares, 8.31-Ounce Candy Cane Tins (Pack of 2)!

Ghirardelli Ghirardelli Double Chocolate Premium Hot Cocoa (2lb Bag)

By Chocolate


Ingredients (NOT listed on item page):
sugar, non-dairy creamer (partially hydrogenated coconut oil, corn syrup solids, sodium caseinate--a milk derivative, mono and diglycerides, sodium citrate, salt, dipotassium phosphate, carrageenan), cocoa (processed with alkali), sweet dairy whey, nonfat dry milk, sodium aluminosilicate (prevents caking), natural and artificial flavor, salt.

I typed this verbatim from the bag.
1 star is the lowest rating offered on the review form.
I would not have purchased had I known the ingredients.
Other Ghirardelli powders I viewed on this site (in canisters) did list ingredients and did not include partially hydrogenated oil.
To return it, with shipping 2 ways, would cost more than the product price.
Not the first time I've been burned by ordering products not stocked by Amazon.

Ghirardelli Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix, 20-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 12)

By Chocolate


I have been using this mix for years and have tried many others. This is by far the best mix out there for chocolate chip cookies, it has the right texture, it doesn't taste artificial in any way and the combination of brown sugar and butter along with the ghirardelli chips is fantastic. I don't even make them from scratch because this is just as good and easier (at least to me) and I always get compliments on them when I bake some up to share. Recently all my stores stopped carrying this and I was very upset. I ordered from a bulk by the case place online but Amazon has the same thing for almost $10 less and free shipping, I am thrilled!Buy Ghirardelli Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix, 20-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 12)!

Ghirardelli Chocolate Semi-Sweet Chocolate Baking Bar, 4-Ounce Bars (Pack of 12)

By Chocolate


I bought these for baking and it is a miracle that I am able to do so since everyone in the house seems to nibble on them here and there. They are easy to bake with, melt quickly, have a wonderful taste and if you manage to hide them somewhere in the fridge where your family won't find them, they will keep quite well for several weeks. I've actually hidden several in the back of the freezer and then baked with them and the taste was still of the same high quality.

Ghirardelli Chocolate 60% Cacao Dark Chocolate with Caramel Squares, 5.25 oz Bag

By Chocolate


I love dark chocolates, the darker the better. However unlike the many other Ghirardelli dark chocolates this one isn't good.

The chocolate itself doesn't melt smooth, has bad mouth feel, and is absolutely flavorless. The chocolate actually reminds me of the poor tasting choco-bits in some ice creams, just waxy and lacking of flavor. And it doesn't even taste the same as their regular 60% chocolate. If Ghirardelli would have used the same chocolate as their other filled delights then it would actually taste really good.

The caramel filling is the only redeeming quality of the chocolate. Smooth, full flavored, and not overly sticky (like some chocolate makers tend to use).

Overall this is a poor quality chocolate that is waxy and flavorless with the only good thing being the caramel filling. Ghirardelli really dropped the ball on this one and am a bit surprised that they allowed it out on the market.

My recommendation, buy a different flavor or brand, this is definitely not Ghirardelli at their best.

Pros:
Caramel filling tastes great.

Cons:
Waxy, doesn't melt well.
The chocolate itself is flavorless.Buy Ghirardelli Chocolate 60% Cacao Dark Chocolate with Caramel Squares, 5.25 oz Bag!

Ghirardelli Classic White Chocolate Sauce

By Chocolate


I bought this sauce at my local Smart & Final to make my Iced White Mocha's I LOVE so much. I would normally spend $4 for a venti white mocha and my husband decided to get me my own Espresso Machine. Well I was excited and ready to go with my clear plastic cups and lids and my white chocolate sauce. Unfortunately, this was just awful. I knew it wasn't going to be good when I poured the sauce and it was a transparent yellowish tone, not the thick white sauce I normally see the barista squirt into my cup. So I poured it back into the bottle thinking I needed to shake it up but it didn't change. It tasted awful. Even my 4 yr old son who enjoys white mocha's with me all the time (Decaf,of course) didnt want anything to do with it. Thankfully my 6 yr old who hasn't had as many white mocha's as my son and I gave it a thumbs up so hopefully she can finish off this stuff so its not a complete waste. I just ordered Torani's white chocolate sauce With a pump so I hope that is exactly what I am looking for. Good luck!Buy Ghirardelli Classic White Chocolate Sauce!

if this coffee tasted like it smelled, i'd pay out the nose for it. the truth is that this coffee doesn't really taste so wonderful. It smells fantastic. I buy the whole bean and my krups grinder/coffee maker goes off at 4am and the smell gets me out of bed with a smile!!! The actual coffee taste is a let down. You'd probably get a better chocolate/caramel flavor for a lot less by letting a rolo melt in your folgers and stirring it up.

Ghirardelli Sweet Ground Chocolate Cocoa Case, Six 3-Pound Cannisters

By Chocolate


While not the absolute best cocoa I've used, Ghiradelli is one of the finest that is readily available. I recommend using it as a matter of course instead of the ubiquitous Hershey's, which has a harsher flavor. This cocoa is mild yet rich in flavor, smooth tasting. I use it all the time for baking, and people notice the difference, even if they don't understand why my brownies are better than average.

This product, despite the "sweet" in the name, is not a hot chocolate mix. If you go to the manufacturer web site, you'll find some high quality recipe for its use.Buy Ghirardelli Sweet Ground Chocolate Cocoa Case, Six 3-Pound Cannisters!

Ghirardelli Sweet Ground Chocolate, 3 Lb Can

By Chocolate


I've been using Ghirardelli Sweet Ground Chocolate since I started baking/cooking 47 years ago, as did my Grandmother before me. I can't imagine using anything else. When a recipe calls for Cocoa, I always use Ghirardelli. Anytime I share a recipe that calls for cocoa it's always with the caveat that other products (like Hersheys, Nestles etc.) will NOT give the results that the person is after. A Cocoa Divinity Cake made with Ghirardelli Sweet Ground Chocolate is to die for, and the Ghirardelli Brownie recipe makes the absolute BEST BROWNIES in the world, either mix or from scratch. No good kitchen should be without it! Buy Ghirardelli Sweet Ground Chocolate, 3 Lb Can!

Ghirardelli Chocolate Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips, 12-Ounce Bags (Pack of 12)

By Chocolate


Oh, sure. It's terrific in cookies but, if you really want a treat, try using Ghirardelli's Semi-sweet Chocolate Chips to make a truly delicious hot chocolate!

You can take 1/4 cup of chips and melt them in a microwave in 1/2 cup milk. Stir. Then add another 1/2 cup milk, although the truly decadent will use half-and-half. Add a pinch of cinnamon, a pinch of chili powder (yeah, you heard me), and two pinches of instant coffee. Wow!!

Ghirardelli has been making exceptional chocolate in the USA for over 150 years. They take it from the beans all the way to the finished product. Their chocolates are smooth (not grainy). Very nice!

Highly recommended!

Ghirardelli Chocolate 100% Cacao Unsweetened Chocolate for Baking, 10-Ounce Packages (Pack of 6)

By Chocolate


I'm amazed at how lovely this new product from Ghirardelli Chocolate is and how well it melts, even in the microwave; just be careful to watch and not let it burn because it continues melting even after the heat source is stopped. I had seen it online for $7 a bag, so was thrilled to see Amazon offer it for a great price and since I share my goodies, this is a no-brainer. For the past couple months, I've been immersed in baking, particularly chocolate goods, and I've been surprised at the easy flourless chocolate cake recipes I've discovered. My friends all agree that the last one I baked using this chocolate ranks among the best of late. I've also baked wonderful chocolate 3 layer bar cookies after substituting the home dried cherries and finely chopped pecans for the recipe's raisins and walnuts. Just had one with a cup of tea and the chocolate radiates and enhances the cherry flavor. I prefer using unsweetened chocolate in baking because I can add my own organic sugar instead of the refined sugar usually used in sweetened chocolate, even bittersweet. I'm now thinking of preparing a batch of chocolate ice cream with this. Great stuff.Buy Ghirardelli Chocolate 100% Cacao Unsweetened Chocolate for Baking, 10-Ounce Packages (Pack of 6)!

This chocolate is so easy to work with for making homemade molded chocolates. We have used it for years for our traditional chocolate making at Christmas. It melts easily in the microwave, and it molds beautifully. The molded chocolates have a nice shine and a crisp bite. I was very disappointed when I could not find it locally, so hurray for Amazon. And this price is great. Direct from Ghirardelli's, it's $10 a box!!

For a great chocolate treat, mix some rice krispies in some of the chocolate and fill a nice-sized mold halfway. Lay a small piece of caramel apple wrap in the mold and then fill the remainder with plain chocolate. Voila! a home-made $100,000 bar.

Ghirardelli Unsweetened Cocoa, 10 oz

I buy this product often but as a single option at 10oz for $12.99 this is totally overpriced.

I love Ghirardelli chocolates: for eating, baking and now for drinking. This product is an intense, creamy, chocolatey powder mix that you can make using hot water for a rich chocolate drink, or make it with milk for an extra creamy taste. It's great to take with you when you're away from home (it also comes in pre-measured packets that you can mix into 8oz of hot water), or keep it at work, or in your dorm room for that quick chocolate break.

The 32oz packages are very cost-effective. I keep the powder in a canister on the counter next to my Keurig beverage machine, and it's been hit hard this cold, blustery winter!Buy Ghirardelli Chocolate Premium Hot Cocoa Mix, Double Chocolate, 32-Ounce Packages (Pack of 2)!

Be aware, this is a flavored powder, probably not white chocolate at all, because it contains no cocoa butter, which I believe is used to make white chocolate. White chocolate isn't chocolate at all. The first three ingredients of this product are sugar, partially hydrogenated coconut oil, and corn syrup solids. You decide whether the price for this is a good value, or whether this is really a white chocolate product or, as the label states, "SWEET GROUND WHITE CHOCOLATE" followed by the very important word, in smaller print, "FLAVOR." We will continue to search for the perfect white chocolate flavoring for our mochas, but we are pleased with this one. Buy Ghirardelli Chocolate Sweet Ground White Chocolate Flavor, 3.12-Pound Can!

Ghirardelli White Mocha Hot Chocolate 19 oz Can

It tasted like bitter coffee with bad flavoring. It didn't taste anything like hot chocolate. It wasn't even white but a light tan color. I didn't like it but I passed it on to a coworker who says it's "ok". This is why I stick to land o'lakes. Buy at your own risk.Buy Ghirardelli White Mocha Hot Chocolate 19 oz Can!

Ghirardelli Chocolate Sweet Ground Chocolate & Cocoa, 3 Pound Can

By Chocolate


I bought this when the pack of 6 cans Amazon offers was unavailable, because we're not sure life is worth living without Ghiradelli chocolate in our morning coffee, and Amazon's prices are so much more reasonable than those in local stores. I was worried about the can size - but the three-pound is really just as convenient - it barely takes up more space than the one-pound cans on my kitchen counter. (Granted, if I were keeping it in a cabinet, it would be a tighter fit - but still, it's not as bulky as one might expect.) And the chocolate, of course, is wonderful. Ghiradelli makes the best!
