Merckens Coating Wafers Melting Wafers Dark Cocoa 2 pounds

I use this chocolate to coat the bottom of homemade digestive biscuits (cookies). Using the microwave I heat the chocolate for 30 seconds, stir, 15 seconds, stir then 10 seconds followed by stirring for as long as it takes to just melt the chocolate. Then I put 1 Tbsp ( it isn’t really 1 Tbsp because some chocolate always stays on the spoon) on parchment paper and set the 2.5” or 3” completely cooled cookie on top and push down until the chocolate just shows at the edge of the cookie. Leave for 30 minutes and the chocolate dries to a very solid layer. It just peals off the parchment and looks perfect. The chocolate isn’t too sweet and it is easy to work with and store. I freeze my cookies and the chocolate stays perfect. Started with a 2 lb bag but just ordered a 5 lb bag because I am now addicted to digestive biscuits. The two pound was enough for about 60 cookies.

Melts great. Taste delicious. Molds well, maintaining shape, shine, and firmness once cooled and set. The dark cocoa tastes like a mix of semi-sweet and dark chocolate. Hint…You can help identify authentic Merkens’ chocolate by comparing the ingredients…

I just found out about different kinds of chocolate, and not-chocolate, recently and decided to give these melting wafers a go to see how they compared to actual chocolate. Not needing to worry about working temperatures and tempering of traditional chocolate is an alluring quality. The ease of working with these melting wafers does come at a sacrifice to flavor and texture compared to real chocolate, though what you get is still pleasant tasting. I first got into chocolate making by going all out and making my own chocolate from scratch starting with cocoa butter, etc. and I have loved the results but it takes a lot of time and effort. I wanted to try working with melting wafers at the complete other end of the spectrum as far as being quick and easy goes. It was amazing being able to do everything in just a few minutes basically versus the hours I can spend making my own chocolate. I do miss the taste of real chocolate, and what I made didn't feel as lovingly made, but it was quick and easy too. I think this stuff is cool to have and I'll find uses for it as I explore different kinds of chocolate-making and finding the right product to use in different situations.

These melted well and tasted good. Have to slowly add some oil depending on the consistency you’re looking for.

Inconsistent sizes. This one was perfect but delivered too late to use my molds for thanksgiving. And chargef me shipping. Had to go locally for smaller bags and it cost a lot mire. The ladt order had a block of chocolate melts stuck together. In the past things were great but now its not reluable.

This was good chocolate that melted with no problem. The taste was good but the packaging was very poor. It arrived packaged in a zip lock bag. Not very professional looking at all.

These are so good. A little pricey but I love to make candy and these melt great.
