What it is
These are small, semi-sweet chocolate pieces made with real milk. They are designed to melt smoothly when heated, making them ideal for baking and confectionery applications. The milk content contributes to a creamier texture and a slightly sweeter flavor profile compared to dark chocolate varieties. They come in a convenient bag for easy storage and use in various kitchen projects.
How people cook with it

To melt, place the chips in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, ensuring the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Stir gently until smooth.

They are also suitable for creating chocolate drizzles or ganaches.
