Chocolate source

[ncorrigbl]

Hi all! I'm on Long Island, NY, looking for a source of good chocolate and white chocolate that wont break the bank. Need it for Christmas confections (peppermint bark, coating caramels, etc) and refuse to use the melting wafers available locally (Merkens and Wilton).

Suggestions?

Thanks,

Heather

For dark, have you tried Trader Joe's Pound Plus bar? It's made by a famous manufacturer, and of decent quality.

I'll second Trader Joes...best quality choc for the price!

I tried their chocolate for bark last year, but it wound up bending rather than snapping into pieces. Maybe my technique was to blame. I don't believe they have white chocolate, though.....

Qzina has an outlet in outlet in New Jersey. A business licence is not required to purchase from them (at least in Canada).

I've found the Trader Joe's bars very satisfactory in the past, and also big bars that I've bought at Walmart - I think they were called Watermark or something similar.

Here in Canada at Loblaw stores we have the 'President's Choice' brand - they make excellent large bars of couverature.
