Frequently Asked Questions About 46% Cocoa Dark Chocolate Chips

Why do 46% cocoa dark chocolate chips keep their shape in cookies?

What is 46% Cocoa Dark Chocolate Chips?
46% Cocoa Dark Chocolate Chips are small drops of dark chocolate, made to hold their shape in baking or melt into a smooth coating. Their cocoa flavour is more pronounced and their sweetness less pronounced than in milk chocolate. They are a familiar addition to cookies, muffins and other home baking, though they can also be stirred into porridge or enjoyed by the handful.
They provide cocoa flavanols and minerals, along with fibre, but are also high in sugar and saturated fat. For a less sweet result, fold a modest amount into oat-based cookie dough or pair a few chips with plain yoghurt and fruit. They work well when you want chocolate flavour distributed through a bake without chopping a bar.
