Good Quality Block Chocolate?

Post #1 - December 9th, 2011, 7:21 pmDoes anyone know of stores that carry 5 or 10 pound blocks of chocolate?
Before you say Blommers, I don't get many chances to get downtown during their business hours, but I'd love to find a retailer.What is patriotism, but the love of good things we ate in our childhood?

Most Wole Foods carry block chocolate, generally Callebaut or Valrona. You can also sometimes buy it at Long Grove Confectionary, too.Steve Z.

Post #5 - December 12th, 2011, 11:14 amWhile not in a 5 or 10 lb chunk, Trader Joe's Pound Plus bars are my choice for bulk chocolate for melting/baking. Very good quality chocolate at prices well below the high-end brands.

Post #6 - December 20th, 2012, 10:35 amI was buying large chunks of Callebaut (white, dark and milk) from Cost Plus World Market stores....prices reasonable, often on sale or with coupon, but my local store no longer carries it.
I'm disappointed and looking for an alternative. Suggstions? Whole Foods costs significantly more.

I also recommend the Pound Plus bars. They are a great value. I chop it up into squares with my Chinese meat cleaver and then either eat the squares or melt them. The 72% dark chocolate bar is really good.

I'm out of my hunk of Callebaut. I usually buy it at Treasure Island. I think I will try the Trader Joe's this go round.Ava-"If you get down and out, just get in the kitchen and bake a cake."- Jean Strickland
