The Ghirardelli Chocolate Company has introduced its new line of baking, hot cocoa, candy making and dipping products with zip-up pouches that are easy to open, use, reseal and store.
Ghirardelli's Premium Hot Cocoa is available in a new flavor - Ghirardelli Chocolate Caramel Premium Hot Cocoa, and joins Double Chocolate and Chocolate Mocha. The classic Double Chocolate powder can be used to make traditional hot cocoa drinks and also serves as a sprinkle topping.
The hot cocoas made with Ghirardelli chocolate will be available in 10.5 oz. zip-up pouches, which contain nine servings of hot cocoa. Ghirardelli's Double Chocolate is also available in convenient, on-the-go individual packets (.85 oz.).
Ghirardelli's Premium Candy Making & Dipping Wafers are suitable for making candy or decorative treats, including using them in molds or for dipped goodies, such as strawberries, pretzels or marshmallows.
Available in re-sealable 12 oz. pouches, the new candy making and dipping wafers can be microwaved and even reheated. Evenly sized, the wafers ensure consistent easy melting and the product does not require tempering unlike regular baking chocolate, the company said.
Ghirardelli Unsweetened and Sweet Ground Cocoa offers Ghirardelli's intense chocolate taste in the new re-sealable pouches. The Unsweetened Cocoa comes in a convenient 8 oz. size.
According to the company, the dark color of the powder and the rich dark cocoa flavors are the perfect ingredient for holiday recipes, from cookies and cakes to drinks. The Sweet Ground Cocoa is available in 10.5 oz. pouches and is suitable for making frosting or brownies.
The newly re-packaged products will hit mass and grocery stores nationwide now through September 2013 when the previous brand packaging will be entirely phased out.
