Chocolate chips are small, round, uniformly sized, processed chocolate chips used for baking. The best known use for them is in chocolate chip cookies, but they can also be baked into muffins or cakes, and can also be sprinkled on a hot cake to form a sort of chunky instant frosting. They come in several flavors, including bittersweet, semisweet, milky, and white.
Bittersweet Chocolate Chips are dark in color and contain more cocoa than other varieties of chips. They have added some sugar but they are not very sweet. This type is often used when a rich, intense chocolate flavor is desired.
Semisweet chips are the most common type available in many places. They contain cocoa butter and a blend of unsweetened chocolate and sugar. Semisweet chocolate chips are much sweeter than the bittersweet variety, but not overly sweet. This variety is versatile and works well in a range of recipes. The milk chocolate chips are quite sweet and creamy. They are lighter in color than semisweet chips due to the milk solids.
White chocolate chips also contain milk solids and are extremely sweet. Technically, white chocolate is not chocolate at all since no cocoa beans are used in it. These chips are often used to contrast color and flavor in desserts using other types of chocolate.
The chocolate chips are uniformly round in size and have a spike at the top. The mini chips look the same but are smaller in size. They are good for small cupcakes or mini desserts. Chocolate chunks are larger, rectangular pieces of chocolates and not chip-shaped. They can be used as a sturdier alternative in cookies and other desserts.
Unlike chocolate baking squares and other types of chocolate that melt easily, chocolate chips are made to hold their shape when cooked. They contain very little cocoa butter, which helps them keep their shape. When the chocolate chips melt, they can be lumpy and some types can even have a grainy texture. All varieties should be kept in a cool, dry area.
