Guittard Chocolate Company Baking Chips Review

Reviewed by Michelle

Where to begin, well, as a really serious chocolate lover, Guittard did not disappoint me at all. There were 3 different ones I have the luxury of trying out and I have reviewed each of them below:-

CHOC-AU-LAIT – Gourmet White Baking Chips = Net Weight 12oz (340g) – 50% Fair Trade Certified Ingredients

First of all, these are nothing like the cheap white chocolate you get, this one oozes luxury, in fact, all 3 flavours did. Made with Cocoa Butter and Tahitian Vanilla, these were A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!

On the back of the packet, there are 2 different recipes, Whole Wheat Peanut Butter Cookies and Choc-Au-Lait Fudge. Having never made fudge, I went for this option and O.M.G!!!! It was delicious. It tasted sooooo smooth and creamy. The quality in the tase of the chocolate is lovely and the taste of the vanilla is phenomenal.

The chocolate chips were very easy to work with, especially following the recipe. Both recipes on the back of the package use a whole pack of chocolate chips.

To find out what ingredients are these, just click on the link below where it will also show you the nutritional values but let us be honest, it is chocolate, so you may want to skip that bit, after all, chocolate is very naughty LOL https://www.guittard.com/our-chocolate/detail/choc-au-lait-baking-chips

EXTRA DARK CHOCOLATE – 63% CACOA 100% REAL CHOCOLATE = Net Weight 11.5oz (326g) – 63% Fair Trade Certified Ingredients

OMG! I love a bit of dark chocolate, especially when I am on health kick but still crave for chocolate. Dark chocolate is better for you, the higher the percentage of dark chocolate, the healthier it is.

On the back of the packet, there are 2 different recipes, Extra Dark Chocolate Chip Cookies and Chocolate Cherry Scone. Now I made a note of cookies and was tempted to make them but…. Chocolate Cherry Scone, this was a game changer. I have never heard of them so, this is what I went for and; well, what can I say. When you buy these, you have to make them. Forget the fancy afternoon tea places, make these and you will get a taste of absolute indulgence. They went down a treat, especially with the grandchildren, although, they didn’t get one each, they only had a taster… only kidding. The recipe made 2 dozen, so there was plenty to share.

As with the white baking chips, these chips were just as easy to work with and again, especially following the recipe and again, both recipes take a full packet of chocolate chips.

GREEN MINT BAKING CHIPS = Net Weight 12oz (340g) – No Mention Of % Of Fair Trade Certified Ingredients

Now, this has to be my favourite, I love mint chocolate and would not wait to get started with these. Before I opened the packaging, I could smell the mint. Yum!

Just like the other two chocolate chips packages, on the back of the packet, there are 2 different recipes, Polka Dot Cookies and Green Mint Brownie Muffins. There was no contender in which recipe I was going to try, it really did have to be the Green mint Brownie Muffins. WOW, WOW, WOW!! A taste of heaven in your mouth that was extremely delectable. You really do need to make these when you buy them.

The recipe made 2 dozen, so again, there was plenty to share.

As with the other baking chips, these chips were just as easy to work with and again, especially following the recipe and again, both recipes take a full packet of chocolate chips.

RATING: 
4.9/5



Yummy, yummy, yummy in my tummy. You really do need to buy these, and I cannot wait to try the other ones.  

Not quite 5/5 as I notice they use palm oil and there is nothing to say it is reasonably sourced.
