I've always use the Ghirardelli brand from Sam's for my Christmas treats. Since those are no longer available, I decided to give the Sam's brand to try this year. These are nothing like them. They melt quickly, but the flavor is not the same. Also, these had tons of air bubbles in them consistently which caused issues with dipping. These taste like cheap chocolate, and I'm not happy to serve them to my guests. Next year, I'll make sure to order Ghirardelli from somewhere else.

I bought the Members Mark last year when Sam's Club stopped carrying the Ghirardelli wafers. Those were the MM dark wafers and were much the same as the name brand. This year they only had the milk chocolate wafers and they are terrible. They taste like the cheap off-brand chocolate that you get at a dollar store. They apparently aren't chocolate, they are "chocolate flavored" and even that is a stretch. When the chocolate sets, it looks dull and unappetizing. It may be a bit more expensive, but get your melting wafers from a reputable craft or candy making supplies store. It will save you in the long run.

I bought these last year and they were delicious and I used them for all my holiday candies. However this year the formulation has changed and I didn't notice that it said “chocolate flavored” candy melts. They are gross, and I wasted so much money on them, as I had to replace them with real chocolate. Please, Sam's…. Bring back the actual chocolate melts. Originally you carried Ghirardelli, and then created your own knock off version which was actually decent. These aren't.

I dont often leave reviews, but i am regretting purchasing a few bags of these melts without tasting them first. They had great reviews and im usually pleased with Members Mark brand. However, the taste is terrible. i think they taste very artificial and overly sweet. They brand name that Sams Club used to sell is far superior, so i will be purchasing them elsewhere from now on.

This recipe has changed and they are horrible. They smell like a bad chocolate fudge frosting and taste like it too. Compared the ones bought last year (2024) and they're wau different. The overall size of the wafers is smaller as well. They dry down with a white haze not shiny. Truly disappointing! in the pic the new is on the left old on the right for size comparison.

My family and I did not like the taste of these. It was my mistake for not reading the package which clearly stated "chocolate flavored". I bought them to cover strawberries and ended up not using them. I actually threw the bag away because of the taste. The wafers are overwhelmed by a syrup taste that I could not get past.

I had high hopes based on the reviews, but this chocolate does NOT tasted good. It definitely tastes like "knock off" artificially-flavored chocolate. I bought two bags, used one, but will be returning the other. The price is great, obviously, and they melt and set up well, but the taste will just ruin whatever you are using it for. Today I bought a bag of Ghirardelli melting wafers, and there's just no comparison. Of course they are significantly more expensive, but for the vastly better taste, it's worth it.

Member's Mark Milk Chicolate Flavored Melts is he worst "chocolate" I have ever worked with or tasted!!! The flavor is awful, it tastes like some kind of fake strawberry with chemicals added. And the melting consistency is horrible, it never did dry with a smooth shiny finish. Therefore the overall value is 0%. I can't stress enough how bad this stuff is!!!! 😫😖😝 DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY!!

A couple reviews scared me from purchasing initially… My husband wanted to make some nut clusters for both Thanksgiving/hunting season and then we make them for Christmas so I decided to buy them for the hunting season and figured I would switch to Ghirardelli for Christmas if need be… Don't be afraid this is very good melting wafers I will use it in place a Ghirardelli for Christmas. He makes nut clusters in the crockpot with white chocolate milk, chocolate and dark chocolate, we did not have dark chocolate we had semi sweet chocolate chips so we used both types of melting wafers plus semi sweet chocolate chips and added 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder to the recipe to encourage the dark chocolate flavor from the chips and they turned out perfect. (the Internet suggested to add cocoa powder to chips to make a dark chocolate flavor and it was perfect.)

I make about 20lbs of toffee in a week, and have used several different brands of chocolate. Ghirardelli and Callebaut are much better. Much. This is very waxy, and even when heated, is thick, and never sets to a hard sheen. (I know how to temper...). Flavor is flat compared to the others too. But... people will generally gladly eat any kind of chocolate. So it's cheaper and not as good, but it gets consumed. For general gifting, this is fine. But if you have discerning chocolate friends, choose the other options.
