About DARK CHOCOLATE CANDY COATING, DARK CHOCOLATE
Meijer Dark Chocolate Candy Coating is a compound chocolate baking product sold under the Meijer private-label brand of Meijer, Inc., headquartered in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Candy coatings (also known as compound chocolate) are formulated with vegetable fats (here palm kernel and palm oil) in place of cocoa butter, which makes them easier to work with than couverture chocolate as they do not require tempering and set at room temperature quickly. The formulation consists of sugar as the primary ingredient, palm kernel and palm oil blend as the fat base, alkalized cocoa, cocoa powder, whey powder (dairy), soy lecithin, and natural flavors. The combination of alkalized cocoa and cocoa powder provides the dark chocolate appearance and flavor without the expense of real cocoa butter.
Per 100 g, this baking coating provides 533 calories, 66.67 g carbohydrates, 30.00 g fat, 6.67 g protein, and 6.70 g dietary fiber. Fiber at 6.70 g/100 g reflects the cocoa solids content. Fat is predominantly from the palm kernel and palm oil base, which are high in saturated fats — primarily lauric acid from palm kernel oil and palmitic acid from palm oil.
Dairy is present via whey powder, making this product unsuitable for dairy-free or vegan applications. Soy lecithin constitutes a soy allergen. No wheat, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, shellfish, or sesame are declared. Compatible with gluten-free baking patterns based on the stated ingredients. The compound chocolate format is designed for ease of use in home and commercial baking, dipping, and coating applications where tempering real chocolate is impractical.
