Hersey Dark Chocolate Chips
What it is
These are small, semi-sweet chocolate morsels made with a higher percentage of cocoa solids than milk chocolate. They are designed to retain their shape when baked, making them ideal for adding pockets of rich chocolate flavor to various baked goods. The dark chocolate offers a more intense cocoa taste, balancing sweetness with a pleasant bitterness.

Hersey Dark Chocolate Chips are perfect for baking. They can be incorporated directly into cookie dough, brownie batter, or muffin mixes. For a smoother texture in sauces or ganaches, they can be gently melted over low heat or in a microwave, stirring frequently to prevent scorching. They also work well as a topping for desserts like cakes and pies, or simply enjoyed by the handful.
How it differs from similar foods

How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, store any unused Hersey Dark Chocolate Chips in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, which can cause them to melt or develop a white bloom.
