Frequently Asked Questions
What does "Extra" mean in this milk chocolate?
"Extra" typically indicates a higher cocoa solids content (38% here) compared to standard milk chocolate, resulting in a richer, more pronounced chocolate flavor while maintaining a creamy, sweet milk chocolate profile.
Is this chocolate good for making a chocolate fountain?
Yes, it is an excellent choice! As a couverture, it has the ideal fluidity when melted for a smooth-flowing fountain. Its rich flavor and creaminess are perfect for dipping fruits, pretzels, and cakes.
Can I use this as a direct replacement for milk chocolate chips?
Absolutely, and it will greatly improve your recipes. Use the wafers as-is or chop them. They will melt more uniformly than chips, creating better texture and richer pools of chocolate in your baked goods.
Does this product contain gluten due to the barley malt extract?
Yes, the barley malt extract contains gluten. This product is not suitable for those with celiac disease or a gluten intolerance.
How does this compare to Lindt Excellence bars for baking?
This is a couverture, specifically designed for melting and confectionery work with a higher cocoa butter content for better performance in coatings and molded chocolates. The flavor is similarly premium but formatted for bulk baking use.
What's the best way to store this large bag to prevent blooming?
Keep it sealed in an airtight container in a cool, stable environment (a pantry is ideal). Avoid refrigeration and temperature swings, as condensation and cold can cause sugar or fat bloom on the surface.
Is this milk chocolate good for making treats for a kids' camping trip?
It's perfect! Its creamy, universally loved flavor makes it ideal for pre-making s'mores kits, chocolate-dipped granola bars, or simply packing wafers as a special sweet reward after a day of outdoor activities.
