DOES NOT CONTAIN COCOA BUTTER!,
December 15, 2010
This review is from: Ghirardelli Chocolate Baking Chips, Classic White, 11-Ounce Bags (Pack of 6) (Grocery)
The ingredient list for this item lists cocoa butter but the actual item contains ZERO cocoa butter, in fact the ingredient list on this listing is completely different from the package. This is not white chocolate, avoid!!!!

This is not white chocolate!,

These chips do not contain cocoa butter. Instead, they are just sweetened, flavored palm kernal oil and powdered milk. They don't melt worth a darn, so don't try using them for dipping. I'm very unsatisfied.

Really bad!,
December 18, 2011
This review is from: Ghirardelli Chocolate Baking Chips, Classic White, 11-Ounce Bags (Pack of 6) (Grocery)
I was making peppermint bark for the holidays and I ran out of the white chocolate melts I had been using. I'd already made one tray using another brand of white chocolate, but I still needed to make another tray so I ran to the store and all they had in stock were these Ghirardelli white chocolate chips. I figured for the price they'd be alright to use, and it is Ghirardelli, they talk themselves up a lot and sell themselves as a fine chocolatier so I figured these would be at least decent.
I was so so wrong.
These were disgusting, first of all. They have a very plain, flat taste. Also, there's a gross after taste that accompanies these. Compared to the other white chocolate I was using, these may as well be classified as inedible. Regardless, I went ahead and attempted to use them. They melt terribly. Actually, they don't melt at all! They became a big, nasty dry mess of powdery white chocolate imitation. No, my chocolate didn't seize, these really are just that bad.
I wasn't expecting these to be great, but I was expecting they would be at least usable. They were not. After trying and failing to use one bag, I have decided I'm just going to use the one tray of peppermint bark I already have made and just make some cookies or something instead. These were a massive disappointment.
