Review: Rich Flavor, Great Quality, and a Household Staple for Years - The Ghirardelli 100% Cacao Unsweetened Wafers have become a long‑term favorite in our home. The quality is exactly what you’d expect from Ghirardelli — rich, smooth cacao with a deep chocolate flavor that works well for baking, melting, or adding to recipes that need pure cocoa without any added sugar. My mom enjoys taking one wafer a day simply because she likes the taste and believes it’s a good addition to her routine. While it’s not something backed by medical or scientific claims, it’s a small daily habit she enjoys, and she’s turning 83 this year — still active, still working, and living a full, productive life. For her, these wafers have become a simple, enjoyable part of her day. The 5‑pound bag is a great value, especially if you use cacao regularly. The wafers store well, melt evenly, and stay fresh for a long time when kept sealed. desertcart makes it easy to compare sizes and prices, and this bulk option is definitely worth it if you go through cacao quickly. What I Liked Deep, rich 100% cacao flavor Smooth texture that melts evenly Great for baking, drinks, or daily use Excellent value in the 5‑lb bulk bag Stays fresh for a long time when stored properly desertcart helps you find the best price and size Things to Keep in Mind Completely unsweetened — best for those who enjoy pure cacao The bulk bag is large, so plan for storage Overall These Ghirardelli cacao wafers are high‑quality, versatile, and a great value for anyone who loves pure chocolate. Whether you use them for baking or as part of a daily routine, they deliver consistent flavor and freshness.
Review: It's chocolate! - Love Ghirardelli chocolate. It's rich and tastes like those fancy French and Belgium chocolates, maybe even better. You get a huge bag of dark rich unsweetened chocolate to make whatever you fancy. The wafers tend to melt more smoothly than the chips do (chips usually have some kind of ingredient added so they stay whole in cookies, etc.). I will get plenty of use out of these wonderful chocolate wafers. I plan to make low-carb candies and nuts with them. Maybe some baking too.

- Wafer Size: 250 wafers per lb.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this shipped with ice packs? What steps are taken to keep from melting in transit?**
A: I live in CA., 60 miles north of this manufacturer.  This was fulfilled by a 3 party, so I am not sure if all sources use ice packs.  Last year at this time we hit 120 degrees, so maybe some sellers got sick of refunding and got smart.  Sorry that I can't be more help.

**Q: Can you eat the wafers as they are?**
A: Yes the wafers can be eaten out of the bag.  However, keep in mind there is NO sugar and the wafers will be rather bitter to the taste.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great addition for making an authentic French/Italian style, rich hot chocolate
*by S***S on March 3, 2025*

The best dark baking chips yet. I was so pleased to find this product on amazon. The bag is huge, but that's a good thing; it will last a while in an air tight container in my pantry. Also I love the smooth way this chocolate melts. There is no sugar added, so I can control that on my end - I use my own blend of homemade vanilla sugar when I make drinks with these chips. This chocolate was easy to temper too, which I found to easier than usual, not sure why. Very excited to make authentic rich hot chocolate now.
