interesting conversation. I just got Ghirardelli white chips at my Dollar Tree store. iwas going to make creamsicle (sp)
cookies with them. same as cho chip, BUT use white chips and 2 teaspoons of orange zest. I was also going to use them for melting. I wonder if they will. for a buck, i'll try it.

I use Ghirardelli melting wafers for most dipping. It's tempered and is smooth when melted. Most don't the difference from real chocolate anyway.

no don't think its you. I have trouble with it too. always have(we used to mold all our kids' Easter candy) My guess it it the red color. If it happens to be "old" it's even worse. I buy Merkins wafers and rarely have problems with choc or white .
