CHEAPEST Vs. MOST EXPENSIVE CHOCOLATE *Honest Review | Which Chocolate Brand is the Best For Treats?

I tested out the Cheapest vs. Most Expensive Brands of Chocolate Melt to find out which is the BEST Chocolate Product for Treatmaking! Testing done with Almond Bark, Sweet Tooth Fairy, Merckens and Callebaut on Dipped/Molded Treats, such as Berries, Chocolate Covered Oreos, Dipped Apples, Cake Pops and Cakesicles with an honest review- This complete guide outlines melting methods for each, specific Temperatues, Thinning agents, and how to color your Chocolate. I compare the Pros and Cons of Compound Chocolate (cheapest) and Couverture Chocolate (most expensive). We also cover how to Tempering Callebaut Chocolate in the microwave- This video is a must watch for beginners and all experience levels to gain valuable information!
