What it is

They are designed to melt easily and incorporate a unique flavor profile into both sweet and savory dishes. The combination of rich dark chocolate and subtle spice offers a sophisticated taste experience.
How people cook with it
These chips are a versatile ingredient for adding a touch of warmth and depth to your cooking and baking.
- Melt for dipping fruit
- Stir into chili
- Bake into cookies
- Garnish desserts
Gently melt the chips in a double boiler or microwave on low power, stirring frequently to prevent scorching. Once smooth, they can be used as a coating for fruits, nuts, or pretzels. For baking, they can be added directly to cookie dough, brownie batter, or muffin mixes. They also dissolve well into sauces or stews, providing a subtle chocolatey undertone with a hint of spice. For a quick treat, simply enjoy them as they are.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike standard chocolate chips, these contain chipotle pepper, which introduces a mild, smoky heat. This differentiates them from plain dark chocolate chips, offering a more complex flavor profile that balances sweetness with a gentle warmth.

How to keep the rest
Store any unused chips in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and strong odors. Ensure the original packaging is sealed tightly to maintain freshness and prevent clumping. Avoid refrigeration, as this can cause the chocolate to bloom.
