- Melted for dipping
- Folded into cookie dough
- Sprinkled on cakes

How to keep the rest
After opening, store any remaining chocolate chips in a cool, dry place, such as a pantry. Ensure the bag is sealed tightly to prevent moisture from affecting the chips. This will help maintain their quality and prevent them from clumping.
