Sophie Brooks – Chef Tools View Profile →
- Pro: Exceptionally easy to work with, it melts consistently without any fuss.
- Con: As a flavoured coating, it's not a couverture for chocolate purists.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
"The Doughty Baker" in Cardiff needed a reliable and easy-to-use white chocolate coating for their new line of gourmet doughnuts that wouldn't require specialist skills or slow down their fast-paced production line.
"We switched to Dr Oetker's Scotbloc and the difference was immediate. It's foolproof to melt and gives our products a fantastic, professional gloss every single time. Our team can work much faster without worrying about the chocolate seizing or ruining a batch."
Owen Williams – Head Baker
The change streamlined their decorating process, allowing them to increase their daily doughnut output by 25% to meet customer demand.
Using and Storing Guide
Getting the Best Results
- For a perfectly smooth consistency, melt in short 20-30 second bursts in the microwave, stirring regularly.
- Always use clean, completely dry utensils and bowls. Even a tiny drop of water can cause the chocolate to 'seize' and thicken.
- If you need a thinner consistency for fine drizzle work, you can stir in a very small amount of vegetable oil.
- To use, simply dip your item or pour the melted chocolate over your bake on a wire rack.
Keeping It Fresh
- Store the pack in a cool, dry place like a pantry, away from direct sunlight and strong odours (like spices or coffee).
- Once opened, seal the bag tightly or transfer the drops to a large airtight container to maintain freshness.
- There is no need to refrigerate; this can introduce moisture from condensation, which will affect the chocolate when you next melt it.
- Properly stored, the drops will maintain their quality and ease of use for a long time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these drops real white chocolate?
A: This is a white chocolate flavoured coating, often called a compound chocolate. It's specifically designed for ease of use in baking and catering as it doesn't require tempering like traditional couverture chocolate.
Q: Can I colour these white chocolate drops?
A: Yes, absolutely. For best results, you must use an oil-based or powder food colouring. Avoid water-based liquid colours as they will cause the chocolate to seize up and become unusable.
Q: What's the best way to melt them?
A: The easiest method is in a microwave. Place the drops in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 20-30 second intervals, stirring well between each one until smooth. Alternatively, melt them in a dry bowl set over a pan of warm (not boiling) water.
Q: Do I really not need to temper them?
A: That's correct, and it's their biggest advantage! The Dr Oetker Scotbloc formula is specifically designed to set with a great shine and snap without any tempering.
Q: How should I store the 3kg pack once it's open?
A: Roll the bag down tightly and clip it, or transfer the remaining drops into a large, airtight container. Store it in a cool, dry place away from sunlight.
Q: Is this product suitable for vegetarians?
A: Yes, Dr Oetker Scotbloc White Chocolate Flavoured Drops are suitable for vegetarians.
Q: What are the best uses for these drops?
A: They are incredibly versatile! Perfect for dipping cake pops, enrobing cakes and doughnuts, creating decorative chocolate shards, drizzling over traybakes, and coating fruit.
Q: Will the drops hold their shape if I bake them into cookies?
A: These are specifically designed to melt smoothly for coatings. For bake-stable chips that hold their shape inside a cookie or muffin, you would need a different type of baking chocolate chip.

Think of tempering as the tricky, precise science of heating and cooling chocolate to get that perfect 'snap' and shine. It demands thermometers, patience, and a skilled hand. These Dr Oetker Scotbloc drops cleverly sidestep that entire process. They are specially formulated with vegetable fats instead of a high percentage of cocoa butter, allowing them to melt down into a smooth, liquid coating and then set firm with a lovely gloss, all without the faff of temperature control. It’s like having a cheat code for professional chocolate work, saving you time, reducing waste, and guaranteeing consistent results, even for staff who aren't trained pastry chefs.
