Kosher King David White Chocolate Baking Coins - Easy to Melt Non-Dairy Flavor

Kindle Customer: I bought these white chocolate wafers for holiday baking projects when my daughter in law came down with ALpha-gal syndrome. She can't have butter, dairy, or mammal products. She was so tickled to receive holiday treats that seemed exactly like the ones she was used to. But what I noticed was that this candy coating actually gave a better taste and texture to my treats than the almond bark I had used before!

Rochelle: This is a really tasty replacement for almond bark for people with a milk allergy

KP: Used these for Oreo balls and dipping pretzels for Christmas goodies. Worked well. Dries very white in color. Tastes good but is very sweet. Tastes more like candy bark than creamy almond bark, but still very good and is the best almond bark replacement I’ve tried. Would buy again.

Tyler Pittman: I'm pretty impressed! The texture and flavor is very reminiscent of almond bark, and it's just as easy to melt and keep melted for dipping, drizzling, etc. It's also a true stark white! No yellowing at all, even while it's melted.
I added cocoa butter, about 5% by weight, and that made a huge difference in flavor. The cocoa butter also helped to keep the coating from seizing when I added gel food coloring, so if you don't have oil-based color, you don't need to go out and get some.
I added Silk heavy whipping cream to make a ganache just barely thin enough for a drip, but it doesn't set up the same way a chocolate with cocoa butter does. I think adding more cocoa butter may help it to set firmer, but I haven't tested it yet.
The strawberries and cake truffles I coated had a great snap, and it took no more than five minutes to set firm enough to touch. There's no residue left on your hands or melting while handling the coating.
I think it would only benefit from having cocoa butter added instead of some of the other oil they use for the above reasons, but for a vegan that can't find affordable white chocolate anywhere, this has been a great product to work with!

Jonathan: Despite my 3 star review, this product has an excellent flavor, and unlike other white chocolate substitutes, is not too sweet. If you are okay with a white chocolate substitute, you may still find this to be a good product.

However, it is NOT white chocolate...it is hydrogenated palm oils.

While it claims 0 trans fats, the serving size is only 2 wafers. Note that the law allows them to say 0 grams of trans fats if there is less than 0.5 in a serving. The law also allows them to call it "hydrogenated" if it contains both fully and partially hydrogenated oils. The oils can also be intersected without printing that on the label. If you want to know more about fully and partially hydrogenated oils and their dangers, there is plenty of information available on the web.

The end result: this product might or might not contain trans fats. I can't say, and they don't have to.

I also stress again: this white chocolate contains no chocolate of any kind. It is a white chocolate substitute, not white chocolate.

I would not have purchased the product if I had realized all of the above before buying...I guess I should read the labels and not be so focused on...
