AndyPanda Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 Not since the local specialty shop, Hieronymus Merkin, closed down. Oh, it's a spice? I did not know that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyPanda Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 Did not know that, either: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merkén Are you referring to the brand name Merckens? Confectionary chocolate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquipure Posted December 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 Don't really care about brand name. I am looking for the chocolate wafers that can be melted to make bark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They say the sugar free really tastes sweeter. I make my own chocolates with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHILLIN Posted December 10, 2020 Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 I too thought like Andy. Google merkin if you dare, come on, just a peek, 5 seconds. May be a memorable Cristmas gift for some lucky gal! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolajoe Posted December 10, 2020 Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 The closest thing to wafers that I've seen locally are at Lakeside Market, just east of Panino Restaurant. It's 70% Turin chocolate. I used to get 70% Mexican chocolate wafers at the abastos, but have not been there this year. Rony, the chocolatier, used to sell wafers by the kilo, but I don't think that he's making chocolate products anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
