Whatâs the usual BB date on these, i.e. if I were to order a bag now how long would it be good for consumption?
The information on the amazon page says dairy free but on the bag it says "may contain milk" anyone got any more information?
I normally get 70% or so, but they only sell that in huge bags. Am I going to find this too sweet, or is it more like Bournville? It's for biscuits.
Is it nut free/ nut safe, ie no nuts and not 'may contains'? Thanks

Quality
Only 54.5 cocoa solids but nevertheless still good quality and taste good in recipes… and for nibbling !! But not cheap

Use them to make a really tasty, smooth hot chocolate drink!!
I have a hot chocolate machine which the manufactures recommend using only flakes or powder. As I had run out of my last sachet of flakes, I thought I would try these (even though they are not advertised for using in machines). I was really impressed with how well the machine handled the drops (just as well as flakes or powder) All the chips completely melted into the milk and I ended up with a really tasty, smooth hot chocolate. As this is the first time using the chips in my chocolate machine, I am not able to say if this will damage the machine over time, but I am more than happy to take that risk as they were so tasty (I am not advocating this for others, this is just how I used them and the risk I am happy to take with my machine!). I would certainly recommend these for anyone looking for good quality chips for making a quality hot chocolate drink in a pan or the microwave.

Perfection!
I bought these to make hot chocolate stirrers for Xmas but will be buying another bag as they have turned out to be so versatile. The chocolate melts very well with a smooth consistency and fluidity. The taste is beautiful, rich and full but not as bitter as a 70% chocolate so it works well for a variety of uses. As I mentioned, this time I melted and poured into moulds with spoons for hot chocolate stirrers - I found 80g of the drops was a perfect amount for a 200ml cup for a very rich drink. The chocolate melted into the milk quickly and easily. My chocolate snob husband was impressed with the quality and taste, I was impressed with the ease of use and the price point for the large bag. I think these will definitely be a regular purchase and I look forward to trying the other chocolates now too.
