Wilbur: One of my favorite sites for US chocolate has free shipping during January

And the price per pound is less than buying Hershey's chocolate at the grocery store.

16 oz = $4.19 (bittersweet, semisweet, milk and white). This couverture chocolate (they call it coating) needs to be tempered if you want to use it for coating, but it's beautiful for baking. I made tons of buttercream icing and cakes using it. You can also buy semisweet and milk chocolate chips and cocoa from them, but I couldn't find unsweetened baking chocolate.

The true confectionary coatings (next page) can just be melted to use for coating or making candy, but I wouldn't use it for baking.

Enjoy reading the history section. This fellow invented Buds, which was the precursor to Hershey's Kisses. Guess who had more advertising funds? I noticed the site doesn't mention the H-word.

Lititz, PA is a hop/skip/jump from Hershey, PA.

I recently ordered 44 pounds of Belgium chocolate at Christmas from Qzina, so I'm flush. But I can recommend the Brandywine, Bronze Medal and Cashmere chocolates from previous orders.

PS: Their site says they recently purchased Peter's Chocolates.

I recently discovered Wilbur buds in the Vermont Country Store(more)

catalog.
I have a mule named Wilbur and could not resist ordering the chocolate. It is very good and "softer" than the H-brand.
BTW, my great-grandmother worked at the Hershey plant in the 30's and 40's and was known for keeping an entire dresser drawer filled with chocolate, making my father one of the most popular kids on the block.
