Any experience using Chocoley Couveture for molded bon bons?
Recently, I had a terrible experience using Chocoa brand chocolate for mold shells. Although, it the taste is similar to Cacao Barry, it didn't crystalize properly (even after several tests).
I noticed Chocoley has a couveture chocolate, but I'm not familiar with it? Does anyone have experience with their line of chocolates?

I've also had very good success using most for molding, including the white chocolate. I also suspect it's from another supplier and I have a hunch but can't say for certain. The small quantities you can order is a definite plus, you can try it out with no real investment. I have had the best results with the V125 formulation when molding at the top end of the temp. range. The other can be a bit too thin of a shell.

Yes, very positive. I have tried just about all of their chocolates, including their fair trade organic. I found them easy to work with and you can order small amounts to try first. I imagine that they are really using some other brand as their source chocolate; i don't know for sure, maybe some one else has the inside scoop. JJ
