Chocolate chips are small, bite-sized pieces of sweetened chocolate commonly used as an ingredient in baking and dessert recipes. Originating in the United States, they were popularized in the 1930s when Ruth Wakefield added chopped chocolate bars to cookie dough, creating the classic chocolate chip cookie. Typically made from cocoa solids, cocoa butter, sugar, and sometimes milk or emulsifiers, chocolate chips come in varieties such as dark, semisweet, milk, and white chocolate. While dark chocolate varieties may contain antioxidants and small amounts of minerals like iron and magnesium, most chocolate chips are high in sugar and saturated fat, contributing to their rich taste but making them best enjoyed in moderation. They add flavor and texture to baked goods but are not considered a significant source of essential nutrients. For healthier options, consider dark chocolate chips with higher cocoa content and lower sugar levels.
