Dark Chocolate

Dark Chocolate for Baking, Snacking & Desserts:

This dark chocolate collection brings together baking chocolate, chocolate blocks, coated snacks, biscuits, bars and dessert ingredients from brands including Whittaker’s, Nestlé Bakers’ Choice, Gilmours, Donovans, Pure Delish, Tasti and SHOTT. The range covers everyday treats as well as larger-format chocolate for baking, decorating and food-service use.

Dark Chocolate Blocks, Bars & Snacks:

For eating and snacking, the collection includes classic dark chocolate blocks such as Whittaker’s 50% Dark Block and 72% Dark Ghana, along with individually portioned chocolate bars and hospitality squares. You’ll also find dark-chocolate-coated and flavoured snacks, including chocolate-dipped mango, ginger pieces, liquorice bullets, almond clusters, popcorn, rice cakes and raspberry-flavoured snack products.

There are also biscuits, muesli bars and protein bars featuring dark chocolate, giving you options beyond traditional chocolate blocks.

Dark Chocolate for Baking & Decorating:

Bakers can choose from dark chocolate melts, chips, bits, compound buttons and budlets in sizes ranging from small household packs through to multi-kilogram formats. Nestlé Bakers’ Choice dark chocolate melts are designed for melting, dipping, coating, moulding and decorating, while Gilmours offers larger packs of dark chocolate chips, compound buttons and budlets for higher-volume baking.

The collection also includes Belcolade dark chocolate shavings for finishing cakes, desserts and plated sweets, plus SHOTT dark chocolate syrup for drinks and dessert applications.

Choosing the Right Dark Chocolate:

If you want chocolate for eating, consider the cocoa percentage and format first. A 50% dark chocolate provides a different intensity from a 72% cocoa block, while coated fruit, biscuits and snack bars offer other textures and flavour combinations.

For baking, choose according to the job: melts and compound buttons suit melting and coating, chips or bits work well when you want pieces of chocolate through baking, and shavings are better suited to decoration and finishing.

A small number of products in this collection use “Dark Chocolate” as a colour name rather than a food flavour, including selected art, ink and cosmetic products, so check the individual product details when browsing.
