Ghirardelli Copycat Recipes
Ghirardelli Chocolate was founded in 1852 by Domenico Ghirardelli, an Italian confectioner who arrived in San Francisco during the Gold Rush. The company produced chocolate from redbrick buildings in what is now Ghirardelli Square in the Fisherman's Wharf neighborhood until the early 1960s, when production moved to San Leandro, California. Those historic buildings — declared a San Francisco landmark in 1965 — became the iconic waterfront retail and restaurant complex that still operates today. Lindt & Sprüngli of Switzerland acquired the brand in 1998. Ghirardelli now produces baking chocolate, brownie mixes, and premium bars sold in virtually every US grocery store, and operates ice cream and chocolate shops at Ghirardelli Square and other tourist-destination locations. The Double Chocolate Brownie Mix — Dutch-process cocoa in the batter plus Ghirardelli semi-sweet chocolate chips folded in — is the brand's best-selling baking product. An 18-oz box retails for about $4–5 at major grocery stores.
