Chocolate chips are small, bite-sized morsels made from sweetened chocolate and often used in baking and desserts. Originating in the United States, they were first introduced in the 1930s as part of the now-classic chocolate chip cookie recipe. Typically made from cocoa solids, cocoa butter, sugar, and sometimes milk powder, they are available in various types, including dark, semi-sweet, milk, and white chocolate. While chocolate chips provide some antioxidants from cocoa, they are high in sugar and fat, which should be consumed in moderation. Dark chocolate varieties tend to be richer in beneficial flavonoids compared to milk or white chocolate, offering potential heart health benefits when eaten sparingly. Chocolate chips are versatile and widely used in many cuisines, especially in Western baking, but their nutritional profile means they are best enjoyed as an occasional treat rather than a regular dietary staple.
