When used for making a simple candy with toffee, they were excellently. It is a favorite to hand out during Christmas and is always a hit. It melts smoothly and fairly quickly.
I wasn't happy with these either. Nestle does not melt nice anymore and they were a bit grainy in consistency.
They aren't supposed to be chocolate, people, it says that on the package. They melt easily and make a good covering for pretzels. I agree there are other better brands, but these are just fine.
I really don't see what's so bad about it.I found it to be just fine.
used this product to coat my oreo truffles, the first batch of morsels I microwaved melted and separated into oily globs. for the second batch I used the defrost option on my microwave and would pause to stir defrost again. After a few time the morsels became a creamy consistancy to dip the truffles. tedious but it worked.
these chips sunk to the bottom of my brownies and turned to a hard goo like mixture ruining the whole pan :( Spend a little more and get the real thing
I use these to make White Chocolate Macadamia Cookies & they work fine. I guess it depends on what you use them for.
I also tried these for a recipe that called for melted white chocolate. The end product was supposed to be dry/firm, but it was kinda greasy and very messy. The taste wasn't good either.
I completely agree. I used this for a recipe around Christmas and it turned out horrible. I am definitely going back to white chocolate bars or Ghiradelli (sp?).
