Dark Chocolate Chips (Enjoy Life)
Two ingredients, 69% cacao: these chips go darker and less sweet than standard baking chocolate, and that edge is exactly the point.
What It Is
Most chocolate chips rely on a longer ingredient list to get their texture and sweetness. These use only cocoa beans and cane sugar, which puts them squarely in dark chocolate territory. That 69% cacao number means more cocoa solids, less sugar, and a flavor with some real depth to it.
Because they are free of dairy, gluten, soy, and most common allergens, they are a go-to for bakers working around dietary restrictions. But plenty of people reach for them simply because they prefer a less sugary chip.
What To Do
Use them anywhere a recipe calls for chocolate chips. They shine in cookies, brownies, and muffins where a little bitterness balances sweetness in the rest of the recipe. Melt them gently over a double boiler or in short bursts in the microwave, stirring between each, for dipping fruit or drizzling over bars.
For cookies, a rough guide is one cup per standard batch. Store in a cool, dry spot and they will keep for months. If your kitchen runs warm, the refrigerator works fine.
