What is Chocolate Chips?

Chocolate Chips is a fundamental component in specialized gluten-free baking. Understanding its properties is the first step toward mastering the art of moist desserts.

Small pieces of chocolate used as mix-ins for cookies, muffins, cakes, and bars where you want concentrated bursts of flavor. Since desserts are sensitive to texture, using Chocolate Chips correctly can be the difference between a dry cake and a bakery-quality masterpiece.

• Flavor: Adding a subtle, natural sweetness or richness.
