Cacao Barry Bittersweet Chocolate Baking Sticks - 44% Cacao - 300 x 8 cm sticks - 3.5 lbs total

Took a baking class in Paris, and this is the chocolate that they used. Decided to try and make my own Pain au chocolat but was wary of ordering food from Amazon. It was packaged well and only two of the chocolate sticks were broken. This is seriously the best chocolate if you’re baking with it!!!

Excellent quality & taste. Was skeptical but pleasantly surprised. A+++ Great job packing in ice to beat the heat.

I received these chocolate baking sticks or batons whatever you want to call them. They are fantastic. If you are making chocolate croissants you will NEED these for perfection. They can be used for other things as well. Since you get 300 and if you are a home cook like me you can chop them up use 5 TBSP in a cup of hot fat free milk or that of your choice and you have a super sweet hot chocolate that is to die for. This chocolate is so rich and sweet, I don't know how many I ate right out of the box before I even cooked with them. They are very nice as a garnish even, very versatile and I cannot say enough about the quality. The price is also great. So check them out you will find so many uses for them once you get them and they are so worth it. They are delivered fast and packed well too. Your holiday baking will really benefit and your gift baskets will be at the next level!!

I’ve been happy with these chocolate batons until this order which obviously was destroyed by heat at some point between production and delivery.

Perfect for make chocolate croissants.

Roll out a perfect 3" wide by 6" length of laminated dough for a chocolate croissant with two of these chocolate batons inside and you can't go wrong. I bake 60 a week for our Farmers Market and could sell 3 times as many if I had the time to bake them all. The chocolate is tasty and melts just enough inside the croissant to make a lovely pastry. You can see a little of the batons on the unbaked croissants in the picture. Hope this helps

This is going to be personal taste. I prefer the Callebaut that are not the Cacao Berry because the Cacao Berry are too sweet for my preference. If seeking a sweeter chocolate for your croissants or pastries these would work. Other than that, they're as to be expected by the brand. They have a nice snap when breaking. They melt wonderfully in the pastries or on the tongue if eating as a snack. I encourage caution when purchasing if the temperature is warm where you live. Though the seller included an ice pack and wrapped the box in the thin insulation, they ice pack was warm water by the time it arrived here and the chocolate was soft. It was still hard enough that it held its shape and wasn't sticking to other pieces, but it immediately marked my hand when picking a piece up to test them. I still used them, and it worked fine. I'm in Texas and I think I ordered these around 2 months ago. I can't currently see the date since I'm writing this. Temperatures were in the 80s when it arrived, if I remember correctly. There's no way it'd survive the 100+ days we're having here now unless shipped differently. So keep the temperature in mind when ordering. Other than that, if seeking something a bit sweeter, you might just enjoy these a lot.

This product arrived in excellent condition, packaged with cooling & insulative materials to avoid melting during shipping. Very impressed! The chocolate is very good quality and flavor is fabulous!! I've already baked my first batch of pain au Chocolat!! Thank you for providing this excellent product and taking extra care to package it so that it arrived in excellent condition! Highly recommend!!

Boîte de chocolat reçue très bien emballé. Aucune barre de cassé j’ai utilisé pour faire mes petits pains au chocolat. Le chocolat est très très bon comme dans les boulangeries, je recommande ce produit.
