Favorite Dark Chocolate,
These are very high quality, and especially good when you want to cut back on all the sugar that comes in the various fillings and milk chocolate found in their other varieties of squares. Very satisfying chocolate flavor without much regret. The photo at the time of this review shows one of the three flavors is Mint Bliss 60% Cacao, but my experience (and that of another reviewer as well) was that the mint flavor is replaced with Midnight Reverie 86% Cacao. The other two flavors are correct: Evening Dream 60% Cacao and Twilight Delight 72% Cacao. Still an excellent bag of chocolates, worth 5 stars, but I have to take off a star due to the misrepresentation, which has persisted for over a year.

|Love This Sampler of Dark Chocolate,
I bought this assortment of Ghirardelli Intense Dark chocolate. It’s a combination of 60%, 72% and 86%–anything above 60% is recommended by nutritionists as being positive for health benefits. An ounce a day is great. It’s a non-guilty pleasure. As a friend said, “Chocolate is a vegetable–it’s a bean!” These are not too bitter for my taste and silky and smooth. I’m quite satisfied with a small amount after dinner as the flavor is intense and lasts. This chocolate is an affordable, healthy and daily treat.

|More “fragrant” than flavorful,
We bought this in hopes of turning our homemade lattes into white chocolate mochas, based on the rave reviews. I was disappointed by this product. It’s not terrible, and does taste moderately decent, but really, I don’t see what all the fuss is about. I’ve had plenty of white chocolate mochas in my life, and this product just didn’t deliver. We usually use organic brown sugar to sweeten our coffees, and in all honesty that tastes WAY better. And is a lot cheaper!
The powder is a strange mix of ingredients – none of them real white chocolate. I don’t like the fact that it contains Partially Hydrogenated Oils, and, I don’t even like using it because it feels like someone just shot a dustcan of vanilla up your nose every time you use it no matter how careful you are. Or like you’ve snorted vanilla talcum powder. The only thing I can compare it with, is the odd way that microwave popcorn flavoring used to get ya right in the nose, before they removed the diacetyl. … It feels invasive and chemically induced LOL.
Also, when you taste the coffee you make with this product, you’re more smelling than tasting. Try holding your nose. Yeah I know scent is a huge part of taste, but this product seems strangely reliant on its phony vanilla scent, and there’s really no flavor without it. It also tastes and smells completely unnatural – fake chemical white chocolatey taste/smell instead of real white chocolatey taste/smell. I expected much more from a brand like Ghiradelli, and for the price.
It’s not great for the waistline either, by adding a whopping 21 grams of carbohydrate to your cup of joe, and 2.5 grams of SATURATED fat per serving. My organic sugar adds between 4-8 grams of carbs, depending on whether I double the serving!
Overall, it’s fun to try, but not when you have to buy this much of it at one time, and is now a 7/8 full tub of disappointment sitting on our countertop. It’s best moment: We experimented and tried it on buttered popcorn. That was kind of good, made a sort of kettle corn taste, aside from the vanilla powder nasal invasion.
I’m listing the ingredients here, because I really feel that calling this “ground white chocolate powder” is so misleading it’s unfair to the consumer, and I don’t see the ingredients shown in the listing.
Ingredients: Sugar, Partially Hydrogenated Coconut Oil, Corn Syrup Solids, Sodium Caseinate, Natural and Artificial Flavors, Dipotassium Phosphate, Propylene Glycol Esthers of Fatty Acids (not kidding), Mono- and Di-Glycerides, Sodium Silico Aluminate (Mmmm), Salt, Soy Lecithin, Calcium Carageenan, and Artificial Color.
Just a tip, consider trying organic brown sugar in your lattes and cappuchinos instead. Not the “sugar in the raw” brand, but a real organic brown. We find it adds a nice (natural) caramel-ly taste, kind of a cross between a Starbucks white chocolate mocha and caramel macchiato – very tasty.

|Tasty, but bad for you,
Wow, this stuff makes very tasty frappes. As long as you have a nice blender, the end product is as good as what you get in fancy coffee shops, only for a fraction of the price.
I pretty much follow the recipe on the can (using skim milk), and it turns out plenty creamy. The substitution I make is that, because I do not have an espresso maker, I use strong coffee. I put in maybe a cup of coffee, and subtract some from the milk so it doesn’t end up having too much liquid.
The downside of this product is the trans and saturated fat. I had no idea this things were so bad for me!
Another approach to making frappes, without the saturated fat, is to mix hot coffee with chocolate pudding mix (not instant — it has a terrible off taste!), then blend it up with some ice and milk. It’s probably not quite as good as with this mix, but it’s way better for your heart.
