What it is
Coated chocolate chips are small pieces of chocolate covered with a hard candy shell. The coating is typically made from sugar, corn syrup, and food coloring, which is then applied in layers to the chocolate. This process gives them a smooth, shiny finish and helps prevent them from melting or sticking together.
Why it's used
The candy coating on these chips provides a protective layer, making them ideal for use in baked goods like cookies and brownies where they can maintain their shape and texture. They are also used in ice cream and other frozen desserts as they are less likely to melt during processing. The coating can also add a slight crunch and visual appeal.
Health notes
Coated chocolate chips are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. The primary ingredients, chocolate and sugar, are common food components. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated the safety of the individual components used in chocolate and sugar coatings. At typical consumption levels, they contribute calories and sugar to the diet.
Allergen info
Chocolate itself is not a major allergen. However, depending on the specific ingredients used in the chocolate and the coating, allergens like milk, soy, or wheat may be present. Always check the product label for specific allergen information. Not a source of gluten.
