About Chocolate drops

Chocolate drops are small, separate pieces of chocolate, commonly formed as rounded drops or chips. This plural name describes the piece form, not a single recipe: the chocolate may differ in colour, sweetness, cocoa intensity, and firmness, and the pieces can vary in size and shape.

They are used as confectionery or as additions and decorations in foods, and may also be melted for cooking. At ordinary room temperature they are typically solid, becoming softer or melting when warmed. The label does not establish their chocolate type or any additional ingredients.
