Ghirardelli Dark Coating Wafers 25lb Bulk for Canadian Food Service
Ghirardelli Dark Coating Wafers come in three 25 lb cases (75 lbs total). They're made for Canadian pastry chefs, caterers, and high-volume kitchens that need a consistent dark chocolate finish without the hassle of tempering. Use them for dipping fruit, molding, or drizzling, and expect a clean hard snap every time. ChickenPieces.com ships these Canada-wide from Calgary.
When your dessert station is slammed or the catering line is running double shifts, the last thing you need is chocolate that seizes or blooms. These Ghirardelli Dark Coating Wafers skip the tempering step entirely, which is the whole point. They give you a deep, less-sweet cocoa flavour and that hard snap customers notice, batch after batch. During strawberry season, they're the reason you can push out hundreds of dipped berries without a second thought.
Ghirardelli Dark Coating Wafers 25lbs/11.34 kgs(3/Case): Professional Grade for Canadian Food Service
These wafers are a solid choice when you need a dark coating that behaves the same way every time. The fluidity is engineered so you get full coverage and a glossy finish on each piece, even when you're running big batches. If you've got hundreds of gourmet dipped items to produce, this is the kind of product you can set and forget.
Stocked by ChickenPieces.com at our Calgary distribution hub. Delivered Canada-wide, all 10 provinces and 3 territories, in 2-5 business days.
"I've watched customers run these through wedding season without breaking a sweat. The no-temper setup cuts real hours off your prep, especially when you're doing hundreds of dipped items. We routinely ship 2-3 cases per banquet contract out of our Calgary warehouse. It's the dependable option when you can't afford rework."
Time is money in a commercial kitchen, and these wafers save both. No tempering means less labour, and because they melt smooth and set hard, you don't get the uneven results that force you to redo product. Whether it's dark chocolate pretzels for a retail display or pineapple slices for a catered lunch, the finish stays uniform. You can grab these from our food service range and cut the guesswork out of dessert prep.
Quality & Specifications
These wafers come in a format that melts evenly and sets with a hard snap. The three 25lb bags in each case give you a strong cocoa profile with a less-sweet dark chocolate taste. No need to temper, which means you skip the finicky temperature work and get straight to production.
Professional Applications
They're the go-to for dipped strawberries, pineapple spears, and dark chocolate pretzels where the finish has to look sharp. Also works for large-batch drizzling, molding, and high-speed dipping lines. If you're coating cookies or cake pops for a catering order, these hold up without fuss.
Storage & Handling
Keep them sealed in the original bags, in a cool, dry spot out of direct sunlight and away from anything with a strong smell. That keeps the texture and flavour stable, so you get the same melt and snap every time. Check the packaging for the best-before date and use them before it hits.
Canadian Sourcing
Ghirardelli is a name Canadian food service buyers trust. We bring these in through our Calgary hub and ship them out to all 10 provinces and 3 territories, so you're getting product that hasn't sat around in a warehouse for months. That's how we keep the quality consistent from our dock to your kitchen.
