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!
