Dark chocolate chips
Small chocolate morsels made with 60–72% cacao, giving them an intense, less-sweet flavor compared to semi-sweet chips. They melt well and pair with fruit and nut-based snacks.

Picking it at the store
- Higher cacao percentage means more bitterness and less sugar — 60–72% is a good balance for snacking
- Store in a cool, dry place; chocolate can bloom (turn grayish) if exposed to temperature swings — still safe to eat
