Chocolate Chips

Miniature drops of chocolate used in baking, which keep their shape in the finished product. Chocolate chips are made in milk, semisweet, and white chocolate; and can be found in 'kiss' shapes as well as oblong chunks. They can be melted for recipes requiring melted chocolate, but they contain less cocoa butter than regular chocolate, so they may not produce the same results. They may also be used in ice cream, for decorative purposes on various sweets, and for eating as they are.
