Dark chocolate chips are small, round pieces of chocolate made from cocoa solids, cocoa butter, and sugar, with little to no milk solids. They are known for their rich, intense flavor and are often used in baking, cooking, or as a snack. Dark chocolate typically contains a higher percentage of cocoa compared to milk chocolate, which contributes to its deeper taste and potential health benefits. These chips are popular in various recipes, including cookies, brownies, and trail mixes. They are also favored by those looking for a healthier alternative to traditional sweets, as dark chocolate is often associated with antioxidants and lower sugar content.
