Chocolate Chips

Chocolate Chips are small, sweet baking morsels commonly used in cookies, muffins and trail mixes and are a staple in Western baking and confectionery. They are energy‑dense at 480kcal per 100g and are primarily a source of sugar and fat rather than bulk nutrients. Made from cocoa, they also contribute cocoa-derived polyphenols with mild antioxidant properties, but because they are high in added sugar and saturated fat they’re typically used sparingly in recipes.
