Melting Chocolate

[daughtersrus]

I just wanted to share a deal that I found at Meijer.

We use A LOT of chocolate bark (both brown and white) this time of year. We cover crackers, pretzels, nuts, flavored craisins, cookies... you name it and decorate them with caramel, sprinkles, chopped nuts...

My DD wanted to make some pretzels for her cooperating teacher and students before her last day of student teaching this Thurs.

I usually get our chocolate at Sam's Club but I didn't have time so I picked up 2 packages at Meijer yesterday. They were on a huge pallet in the center isle with a big yellow price of 2/$5.00. When it scanned, it scanned $2.50. The line underneath says 75% off savings of $1.88! They came to $0.62 each

We noticed the same thing last year but thought that they just put it on sale because it was much closer to Christmas. Looks like they never changed the price in their computer system. I've got to go back and get the rest that we need. The brown chocolate will last awhile but the white only lasts a few months on the shelf.

You got a great deal! Does the bark ever go bad? I bought some last year but didn't use it all and still have a couple of unopened packages. Do I dare?

There should be a "best if used by" date on the package. The white that I just bought has a date of Nov 2010.

If it's brown, it should be fine. The white doesn't last nearly as long. Instead of melting, it will just clump and burn.
