Great Value Almond Bark, Vanilla, 24 oz Bar

The absolute BEST melting/coating chocolate out there. It’s so easy to work with and you can’t beat the price. It melts nicely in the microwave, no seizing. It gets smooth, not clumpy. It also gets runny enough to actually coat your treat without being all gloppy, sloppy, and frustrating . Forget the expensive melting wafers. They are the worst. If you have those nasty buggers, don’t waste them. Combine them with this as it literally transforms them. I won’t buy any other chocolate for my treats again. The taste is also very good.

So tasty and sooooo easy to use! I used it to decorate sweet treats for my birthday party and the almond bark did not disappoint. Not only was it easy to melt down (I added a little coconut oil, per someone’s review) and it was sooo easy to work with. I dipped and decorated rice crispy treats, pretzels, Oreos, and cookies. One pack stretches quite far depending on the amount you’re making. Two allowed me to decorate and cater enough treats to fill a desert table for 20-30people.

This is a no-fail choice for dipping and drizzling. It never gets weird like melting chips often do. I break apart the blocks, and melt in an open freezer quart-sized ziptop bag on high for 30 second intervals until it's melted and smooth. I can easily re-melt hardened/cooled bits. If I'm using it as a drizzle, I zip the top then clip off a small piece of the corner of the bag and squeeze/drizzle straight from the ziptop bag. It tastes great too!

this stuff is so fun to work with it's really easy to use and here's a trick for everyone. when you're melting it in the microwave put one to two tablespoons of olive oil in and mix it up thoroughly until all the chips are covered and that will keep it from burning. and only melted and increments of 30 seconds. then stir It really good each time. it's great for things like Rice krispie treats and just all kinds of delicious snacks

I make chocolate covered strawberries %26 other treats and this Great Value Almond Bark is my go-to for all my creations. For it to be under $5, I think it’s reasonably priced. I do enjoy the consistency as when melted down as well. @dipped.bydenisha

i always over looked the fact that i can make my own chocolate, white and dark pretzels and chocolate covered peanuts, that chocolate and pretzels have a long shelf life for future treats. and you can make a batch of whatever you want ON DEMAND. for an afordable price for me while not have to make a special event out of remember to pick up the items while at the store, inwhich i always forget lol.. every since i thought of this, oh boy.. i eat more of this stuff than ever bfor :)

These are marked gluten free. Yeah. I love the vanilla. I make oreo balls every Christmas with these. And dip pretzels. So yummy. Melt and drizzle over popcorn, to die for. Look up bunny or leprechaun bait (cereal and candy coated in almond bark). My only complaint is these contain soy. I have a friend who can't have soy and that is the only thing I have not been able to do for her is make a soy free dipped item.

I used the Walmart brand almond bark to coat cakesicles, pretzels, and strawberries. The flavor is great—sweet and smooth without being overpowering. However, when melted, the consistency is quite thick. To get a better coating texture, I had to add something like coconut oil or melting crystals to thin it out. Once adjusted, it worked beautifully. Overall, I’d recommend it for dipping and decorating, just be prepared to tweak the melt!

I bought the Great Value Almond Bar Chocolate hoping to use it for dipping treats like fruit, Oreos, and pretzels. The texture was excellent — it melted smoothly and coated items perfectly. Unfortunately, the flavor and smell were very disappointing. Instead of a rich chocolate taste, it had an unpleasant sour note, almost like spoiled milk. Because of this, I wouldn’t recommend it despite the good texture.

I buy 1 or 2 of these packs of almond bark every month for snacks I make. This month, I bought 1 realized the package was rough and lumpy on the bottom when it's normally smooth. I assumed it just melted and it would be fine. However, when I warmed it up, it didn't melt. I assumed I just didn't heat it enough so I left it on longer. Still didn't melt. I stirred it and it wasn't the silky smooth texture I was used to but I ate it anyway. It didn't have as much flavor either. It also firmed back up really quickly. I thought I just got a bad package so I checked the ingredients because I know companies are doing cheaper swaps and sure enough, the ingredients have changed. They added more oil and removed virtually all the other ingredients. I won't be buying it again.
