Baking / Cooking Chocolate

aristote33

Would anyone have some good tips to buy good quality dark/milk/white chocolate in bulk for baking/cooking ? Preferably online.

Thank you.

I USUALLY BUY TESCO VALUE DARK CHOCOLATE FOR BAKING HAS A HIGHER COCOA CONTENT THAN SOME FANCY BRANDS , I WAS IN ASDA TO DAY THOUGH AND BOUGHT SOME 7O% cocoa content ON OFFER 2 FOR £1.50 USUALLY £1.45 EACH HTH

The brands to look out for if you're wanting to buy good chocolate for baking are things like Callebaut and Valrhona. If you google them you can find cheap suppliers, especially places that sell chocolate fountains etc.

I always buy Tesco Value dark and milk for my brownies - I get many many compliments on how good they are!! I never give my secret

i only make basic chocolate things with my kids like rich crispie cakes etc... and i find the asda value stuff is just fine... doesnt have that cheap taste. but if you were doing something posh then maybe it is worth paying a little more???? try it though

I buy fairtrade only, but have not been able to buy in bulk online yet. Stock up when there is a special deal on in the supermarkets. As soon as I find something reasonable, will be posting it here!
