Nestle Plaistowe cooking chocolate is 1/2 price at Woolworths, though not advertised in the catalogue. A good time for all the OzBargain bakers to stock up before Christmas!

This is actually better than half price since Woolworths sells them at $4 whilst Coles sells for $4.95 - $5.17.

I find that Nestle Plaistowe is better quality than Cadbury's or the Aldi Choceur cooking chocolate, noticeable when melting the chocolate over a bain marie - Plaistowe is smoother. I haven't tried the Lindt cooking chocolate range so can't compare with that.

    Anyone else try to avoid Nestle but find it quite difficult?

    Their dark chocolate is better than Old Gold
    Nesquik is better than any alternative
    Sustagen has no peer
    Kit kat tastes too good
    Milo
    Butter Menthol

      I feel old gold is much better.

      The commercial choc button by nestle are of a very good quality, never bought the plaistowe stuff though. might grab a couple and make some cherry ripe slice, if anyone wants the recipe it's the one from taste.com but I use choc ripples for the base double the coconut middle (and put 1.5-2 times cherry).

      Very yummy.

        the plaistowe choc is higher quality. kids might prefer the cadbury though.

      much prefer the taste of Aldi's Kit Kat knock-off "Double Time"

    • UponOccasion on 25/10/2017 - 16:55

      I find the quality of chocolate used in kitkat to be cheap, terrible tasting. For dark chocolate Lint and even the new Cadbury dark milk are far superior. As for Nesquik, Milo is the alternative.

      I suspect that sweet tooth of yours will cause you some problems.

      LoopyLou what's your reason for trying to avoid them?

        Likely because of this

        I can remember the left wing protesters at uni back in the early 90s boycotting nestle because they were supposedly involved in killing thousands of babies in third world countries. I never got a proper explanation from the protesters, but used to enjoy stirring them up by eating nestle products in front of their tables whenever they ran a lunchtime stall selling green left weekly.

        Personally, I think that the fact that nestle discontinued polly waffle is a much better reason for boycotting them, but plaistowe at $2 block is to much of a temptation.

    Anyone else experience that after awhile of storing (still within the dates) the chocolates just refused to melt!

      You may be heating it too quickly and it cooks.

      • anderstand on 26/10/2017 - 11:21

        There's a few months gap between uses.
        I tried both bowl on steam and microwave ten seconds on defrost and on low power.
        it would met beautifully the first time i open the package, and it's really completely different…

      You need to yell at it.

      Lock them in the car on a hot day.

    • moocher on 25/10/2017 - 16:32

      It's always been fine for me in a bain marie, even for ones after best before :P

    if you're making a choc cake, don't ruin it by adding cocoa.

    moocher, me and you are very similar. I make cookies a lot using these bargains.

    But, why do you buy this and not the melts? I find they are exactly the same (with exact %'s the same too)

    • moocher on 26/10/2017 - 10:01

      I don't think there are Nestle Plaistowe melts even though Nestle does make chocolate melts (Plaistowe is the award-winning, higher quality range). In general cooking chocolate blocks are more versatile as I can also scrape or grate them to make chocolate decorations. It doesn't take long to break up the block into squares for melting purposes.

      I haven't checked Nestle Melts in particular but sometimes chocolate melts have higher level of vegetable oil to make them melt easier.

        Bought a bag of white melts and a block of white, let's see how the cookies go.
