Ghirardelli earns strong reviews as a reliably good chocolate brand that excels in baking and gifting, with standout brownie mixes and smooth, rich dark chocolate (notably Sea Salt Almond, Peppermint Bark, and Blood Orange). Reviews also flag inconsistencies—some filled bars read mediocre, occasional lack of detectable sea salt, and a few tasters prefer other premium brands—making the core chocolate solid rather than transcendent for everyone.

I really love the mint squares and the caramel ones too. Such a lovely treat.
I usually buy organic chocolate, but Ghiradelli's dark chocolate chips are really good...I put them in my homemade chocolate chip cookies and they're delish
Dark chocolate always! But at least they do have some pretty good milk chocolate. The really winner is their brownie mix. I gave up trying to make brownies from scratch because their brownie mix is always the best.
Ghirardelli never disappoints! Their chocolate has a rich, smooth flavor that’s hard to beat. Whether it’s a simple square or a decadent bar, you can always count on great taste. Definitely a go-to for chocolate lovers.
These chocolate you can get it most anywhere in retail stores. The ones which are individually wrapped are good to put in as gift fillers. I especially like the ones which has caramel in the inside. We have the 72% cacao chocolate right now in our pantry and this also is great for people who are not sweet-tooth and like bitter taste.
Peppermint bark is my fave
Love these as gifts for chocolate lovers. They are also the only brand I've found so far that has a 60% cocoa chocolate which we love!

I love all chocolate but the Ghiradelli sea salt caramel chocolate squares are incredible. Other than this particular flavor, it's hard for me to differentiate between all the fancy chocolate brands.
The store in San Francisco is cute, it’s a chocolate that you can find everywhere and I never regret getting it. Like, you feel kinda fancy without breaking your wallet ya know? I’m more of a Godiva girl myself but the chocolate chips at the grocery store are essential for pancakes and cookies.

Ghiradelli is one of my all time favorite brands of chocolate. High quality, smooth, and always delicious. It's also my go to brand for stocking stuffers, teacher and staff treats, etc.

You can never go wrong with Ghiradelli chocolate. Every flavor I've tried is fantastic, but have a soft spot for the Blood Orange dark chocolate. Good price to make it a more frequent treat.
I don’t eat a lot of chocolate, but this right here is my favorite brand of all time. It is delicious smooth, and yummy.
the milk chocolate caramel is so good! I love going to the ghirardelli stores to get a free square
Cant live without chocolate
One of my most favourite chocolates of ALL TIME. Extremely high quality, delicious chocolates with easy to store packaging. Love the Ghirardelli squares, the sea salt caramel is my all time favourite. Will never ever stop eating them! Makes for brilliant gifts too!
Their peppermint bark is quite good but all of their other bars are just mediocre and not worth the money. However their brownie mix is phenomenal.
best chocolate
Only my favorite chocolate brand ever!! My favorite is the Dark Chocolate with Caramel Sea Salt which is to die for, not to mention their stores are fun with free samples and they have some of my favorite ice cream of all time.

Yes, a big box chocolate BUT their products have been accessible my whole life. Reliable, affordable - not the BEST chocolate, but does the job for my baking projects!
I prefer to buy other brands for chocolate, but I have to say, Ghirardelli makes, hands-down, the best brownie mix out there. There's no point in considering other brands or making homemade brownies. Ghirardelli is so easy and they have just the best texture and flavor.
