Dark chocolate chips are small, bite-sized morsels crafted from rich, minimally processed cocoa, sugar, and a touch of cocoa butter, offering a deep, bittersweet flavor. Originating from the tradition of European chocolate-making, these chips are commonly used in baking recipes such as cookies, muffins, and brownies; they are also popular as a topping or snack. Dark chocolate boasts a higher cocoa content than milk chocolate, often 50-70% or more, making it a source of antioxidants like flavonoids, which may support heart health and reduce inflammation. It also contains essential minerals like iron, magnesium, and zinc. However, dark chocolate chips can be calorie-dense due to their fat and sugar content, so portion control is recommended. Choose options with lower added sugars and higher cocoa percentages for a healthier twist while still indulging in their robust and satisfying taste.
