I Tested Expensive Compound Chocolates - Are They Worth It?

There are many types of compound chocolate (also called candy coating, coating chocolate, melting wafers, or non-tempering chocolate). I typically work with Mercken's, but have always wondered about the kinds that come in a bucket, often from higher end chocolate makers. What's inside? How can we use it? I show you everything on how I'd use it, plus a cost breakdown to see if it's practical/worthwhile to use for your home baking or baking business.

🙋🏻♀️ ABOUT ADRIANA
This channel combines my love of both baking and science. As a naturally curious person, I love to study, explore, and problem solve. I did that for many years in a biochemistry lab, and am applying that mindset to a lab we probably all have in our house... the kitchen! I've baked for my family for years, but am now just starting to document this journey and share it with all of you.
