Review: Recommended - Good quality
Review: Fancy and nice when on offer - My go-to bar for baking. Stock up when opportunity strikes because it holds well for melting, creating truffles, in cookies and for brownies too. An all-purpose tasty bar that is sometimes sadly out of stock. Purchase ahead. The expiry is fairly generous and the bar gets used in no time. Cuts brilliantly too, so don't let the giant sized square scare you.

## Features

- Benoit dark chocolate compound is gluten-free and vegetarian. It is made up of sugar, hydrogenated vegetable palm kernel oil, cocoa powder and emulsifiers.
- Chocolate liquor and cocoa butter are the two main components of dark chocolate. Together, they determine the flavor of a regular chocolate bar.
- Benoit dark compound has a sheen and smoother texture. It has a ˜snap' and melts in the mouth. Couverture chocolate needs to be tempered and leaves a more mellow flavor.
- Benoit's dark compound chocolate block makes for a top pick when it comes to making chocolate or baking confectionery. It can be used for preparing delectable desserts at home.

Good quality

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fancy and nice when on offer
*by A***I on 14 March 2025*

My go-to bar for baking. Stock up when opportunity strikes because it holds well for melting, creating truffles, in cookies and for brownies too. An all-purpose tasty bar that is sometimes sadly out of stock. Purchase ahead. The expiry is fairly generous and the bar gets used in no time. Cuts brilliantly too, so don't let the giant sized square scare you.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good and Affordable
*by S***8 on 7 March 2025*

I recently purchased this dark chocolate, and I couldn't be happier with my choice! It's not only delicious but also very affordable compared to other brands. I love using it to fill with a mix of peanut butter—it's a perfect combination. As someone who is lactose and gluten intolerant, I appreciate that this chocolate works well for my dietary needs. I will definitely be buying it again!
