Ahahahah you got me
Who waits for the normal stuff to run out?
What's this like to eat straight?
I don’t notice much difference from the Old Gold 70%, but haven’t compared them both at the same time. I get this one when it’s on special, I enjoy the taste.
Pretty good actually, less additive ingredients compared to the regular blocks - they have 70% and 40% - we only get the 70%. Good value per 100gm when it is half price at Coles or woolies (was half price at coles about a month or two ago)
The white chocolate melts are addictive!
Side note: I recently noticed the cheap Nestlé white choc melts/chips don't actually contain any cocoa products. Cadbury ones are way nicer.
How does Nestlé get away with calling it "choc" (or chocolate)? I was unable to find Australia's requirement (if there is one) for the amount of cocoa butter in white chocolate, but in the EU and in the US, it must be at least 20%.
Hmm, it really doesn't contain any cocoa:
Nestle Bakers' Choice White Choc Melts 290g
Sugar, Vegetable Fat [Emulsifiers (492, Soy Lecithin), Whey Powder ( Milk ), Emulsifier ( Soy Lecithin), Flavour.The Food Standards Code specifically addresses what can be called "chocolate". They probably get away with it by calling it "choc melts":
https://www.legislation.gov.au/Details/F2015L00487
chocolate means a confectionery product that is characterised by: (a) the presence of (i) cocoa bean derivatives; and (ii) no more than 50 g/kg of edible oils, other than cocoa butter or dairy fats; and (b) preparation from a minimum of 200 g/kg of cocoa bean derivatives. cocoa means the powdered product prepared from cocoa beans from which a portion of the fat may have been removed, with or without the addition of salt or spices.@bio: And, importantly:
2.10.4—5 Requirement for food sold as chocolate
Food that is sold as ‘chocolate’ must be chocolate.
Which is what you addressed in your comment - they do not call them "chocolate" melts, but "choc" melts. I would argue (being a lawyer, I'm an argumentative so-and-so) that "choc" is an abbreviated form of "chocolate" and that by using the word "choc", they are representing that the product contains chocolate (as defined), and are therefore selling it to retailers as chocolate.
@strangeloops66: I am not a lawyer but common sense agrees with you. Since there isn't an established separate meaning for the word "choc", it is safe to assume that consumers will think that it's chocolate.
Edit: The Cadbury one seems to be actual chocolate:

For me it's Nestle Plaistowe > Cadbury > Nestle Baking range. Plaistowe baking chocolate is amazing.
Nestle baking is compound chocolate. Eww
@bmerigan: Yeah Nestle Baker's choice is rubbish but Plaistowe is very good. Probably the best baking chocolate you can get in a supermarket.
That Cadbury cooking choc and Cadbury regular choc are exactly the same as far as I can tell.
I've compared the ingredients list and nutrition data - same, same.
Get the bug crappy white melt buttons. Toast on baking paper in a LOW oven. Check frequently. When starting to brown, pull out and lift whole sheet off pan and put on a colder surface. When cool, crumble and sprinkle on everything.
A chef told me the cheaper and nastier the white chocolate, the better it turns out.
You are welcome. 💐👌
I'm curious, If other brands of chocolate taste better, why buy cooking/baking chocolate? Wouldn't nicer chocolate be better in cakes etc?
As long as it has 25 pounds of butter per square inch the quality of the chocolate won't matter. It just has to be dark enough to be a black hole.
Lindt 85% dark chocolate in brownies is phenomenal
Can conform, I won a prize for brownies made with that Lindt. Good stuff.
stupid question- what kind of chocolate can I use to make good hot chocolate? I hate the drinking chocolate powders available in the supermarkets. I found only the lindt hot chocolate to be worthy of drinking.
You could maybe try the drinking chocolate sold at some coffee roasters?
Yeah…baking. I know you monsters are eating the cooking chocolate once the normal chocolate runs out.
