About Semi-sweet chocolate chips

Semi-sweet chocolate chips are small pieces of semi-sweet chocolate shaped to retain their form during baking. They are usually dark brown, firm at room temperature, and cocoa-flavoured with sweetness that varies by recipe. They are commonly stirred into doughs or batters, or used as toppings and inclusions.

Chips are sold in different sizes and formulations, and some are designed to hold their shape more than ordinary chopped chocolate. Cocoa solids, sugar, cocoa butter, and any emulsifiers or flavourings vary by product. The name identifies a shaped chocolate product, not a fixed chocolate recipe.
