Description

Eliminate the steep learning curve of chocolate tempering while maintaining the luxury taste of San Francisco’s finest with Ghirardelli White Coating Wafers. Distributed by ChickenPieces.com from our Calgary warehouse, this 3-bag bulk case (75 lbs total) is a mission-critical asset for Canadian commercial bakeries, candy shops, and high-volume catering operations. These coating wafers (also known as compound chocolate) utilize high-quality vegetable oils instead of cocoa butter, allowing them to melt smoothly and set with a hard, snap-ready finish and a brilliant sheen every time. The flavor is classic Ghirardelli: creamy, sweet, and infused with premium vanilla notes that complement everything from fresh fruit to salty pretzels.

REVENUE GENERATION: In a professional kitchen, time is money. By switching to Ghirardelli Coating Wafers, you eliminate the 20–30 minutes required to temper traditional white chocolate. This allows your team to produce hundreds of additional dipped strawberries, cake pops, or truffles per shift. The Ghirardelli brand name on your menu also allows for a premium price point, as customers equate the name with superior quality.
OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE: These wafers are designed for Consistency at Scale. They feature a low melting point and excellent viscosity, making them ideal for use in large-scale enrobing machines, dipping vats, and professional melting pots. The 3-bag configuration (25 lbs each) allows for easier inventory rotation and helps prevent moisture contamination in high-humidity kitchen environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the same as white chocolate?
Technically, no. White chocolate contains cocoa butter and requires "tempering" (a precise heating and cooling process) to set correctly. These are Coating Wafers, which replace cocoa butter with vegetable oil. This makes them much easier to work with while maintaining a delicious flavor and professional look.

What is the best way to melt these in bulk?
For best results, use a double boiler or a professional chocolate melting pot. If using a microwave, heat in 30-second intervals at 50% power, stirring between each session to prevent scorching. Do not exceed 115°F (46°C).

Can I add color to these wafers?
Yes! However, you must use oil-based food coloring (candy colors). Adding water-based coloring will cause the coating to "seize" and become a thick, unusable paste.

Why buy from ChickenPieces.com?
We are 100% Canadian-owned and based in Calgary. Shipping 75 lbs of heat-sensitive product from the US is expensive and risky. We stock locally in our climate-controlled Calgary warehouse to ensure fast, domestic shipping with no hidden border fees.

Why choose Coating Wafers over real White Chocolate? Efficiency and stability. Real white chocolate is temperamental; if the temperature isn't perfect, it will bloom (turn grey) or stay soft at room temperature. Ghirardelli Coating Wafers are designed to be "user-friendly." They are more resistant to high ambient temperatures and provide a consistent snap and shine every time, making them the superior choice for high-volume retail environments where products sit on shelves or in display cases.

Do these wafers contain cocoa butter? No. These are "compound" wafers. The cocoa butter is replaced with palm kernel oil and other vegetable fats. This is what allows the product to melt and set without tempering. However, Ghirardelli still uses high-quality milk solids and natural vanilla to ensure the flavor remains premium.

What is the "Dipping Yield" for a 75 lb case? Yield varies by product size, but because these wafers have a low viscosity (they melt thin), they offer excellent coverage. On average, 1 lb of melted wafers can coat approximately 30 to 35 large strawberries. A 75 lb case can potentially yield over 2,500 dipped items, making it an incredibly cost-effective solution for large events.
