I posted this query on the “Best” board, but that seems not very well traveled these days. What are Chowhounders' opinions on who makes the most delicious, buttery caramel? Could be enrobed in chocolate, could be...

In New York, Wholefoods have decent prices for Callebaut. But in the end it depends on what you plan on using the chocolate for. I’ve bought from http://www.gourmail.com/price.htm however they sell 6040 Callebaut which...

I need to make a white chocolate ganache to enrobe over a cake. I do not have heavy cream but found a substitute recipe that involves using milk and butter. My question is, will this give me the desired result or a runny white...
