So this is the first suggestion post about chocolate. I don't know if any of you have tried Guittard chocolate chips, but let me just tell you that you haven't lived if you haven't had just one smooth, silky morsel of Guittard milk chocolate.
Let me brief you with some history of the Guittard company. The company was founded around the
time of the California Gold Rush by a French chocolatier name Etienne
Guittard. He came to San Francisco in his twenties and he traded his desserts for mining equipment. He became popular and went back to France to work for his uncle and he kept a journal of his recipes which he brought back with him to San Francisco to open his own place. His business grew and has been around for 135 years.
I've always used Nestle but I was never completely satisfied with the texture and the taste. I discovered Guittard by accident at a sale at Vons about 3 years ago. When I came home and opened the package, I had one morsel and it was like my eyes opened wider and I started salivating. It's like nothing I've ever tasted.
I really encourage all of you to try it and let me know your reaction.
Here's their website: GUITTARD
Look at some of there recipes.
Personally they go wonderfully in a Pot de Creme. I'll post that recipe in 2 weeks.
Love and Sweets,
Melissa
