Chocolate chips are small, bite-sized morsels made primarily from sweetened chocolate, often combined with cocoa butter, sugar, and vanilla for flavor. Originating from the United States, they were first introduced in the 1930s as part of the invention of the chocolate chip cookie. Commonly used in baking and desserts, they add rich flavor and texture to recipes. Depending on the variety, chocolate chips may include milk solids (in milk chocolate), or be minimally processed (in dark or semi-sweet chocolate options). Dark chocolate chips are a source of antioxidants and may contain fewer added sugars, making them a slightly healthier choice. However, chocolate chips are high in calories, fat, and sugar, which can contribute to excess caloric intake if consumed in large quantities. Moderation is key when enjoying their indulgent taste and versatility in sweet treats.
