Callebaut's Chocolate Pearls

[Darienne]

Yesterday the owner of our local bulk food store, who also supplies Belcolade and Callebaut chocolate couverture, gave me two little baggies of Callebaut's new product Chocolate pearls. Little white and dark chocolate balls, with a tiny crunchy wheat center, not a big crunch, just a little crunch. They are tasty little things,to either eat or use as decoration he said.

Has anyone else tried them?

[Sebastian]

Sure, they've had them for years. very high margin.

[Darienne]

Oops. I thought they were new.

[northernchef]

No there not new, but I was lucky enough to try them for free when Callebeaut came to our local college to do a demonstration on desserts and chocolate. I didn't find them to be super exciting but they are pretty good and interesting.

I often fold them into ice cream after its been churned - because of the chocolate they keep a nice crunch.

[Darienne]

Good one! I like that. Thanks.

[Lior]

I decorate with them, especially on chocolate lollies for friends and family.

Huh. I've never seen them, but I followed the link to the Callebaut site and they have a big "NEW" tag on them.

As far as in Australia goes, they only became available in the last two years.

Could be why I was just given them by the store owner...new in Canada.

Now I feel somewhat better...

And thanks Lior for the lollipop suggestion. And, of course, I love the ice cream suggestion.

They're nice sprinkled on the back of bars too

They sell them at the Whole Foods here in Columbus. I started to use them as a decoration on an espresso truffle I make.
