About Chocolate chunk

A chocolate chunk is a roughly cut or molded piece of chocolate used as an inclusion in baking or as a confectionery ingredient. Chunks are commonly irregular or block-shaped and hold their shape to varying degrees when heated; their flavour, colour and texture depend on the type of chocolate used.

The term does not specify dark, milk or white chocolate, or a particular cocoa or sweetener formulation. Chunks may be sold plain or as part of a baking product. Nutrition comparisons should identify the chocolate type and any inclusions, and distinguish the pieces themselves from a finished baked food.
