What it is

Fudge chips are small, solid pieces of chocolate-flavored confectionery, similar to chocolate chips but often softer and with a fudgier texture. They are typically made by combining sugar, cocoa or chocolate, fat (like butter or vegetable oil), and sometimes milk solids or flavorings, then cooling and cutting or extruding the mixture into small pieces.

Why it's used

Fudge chips are primarily used as inclusions in ice cream and other frozen desserts to provide pockets of chocolate flavor and a chewy or soft texture. They are also found in baked goods like cookies and brownies, adding a rich chocolate element that doesn't melt away completely during baking.

Health notes

Fudge chips are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended in food. They are primarily composed of sugar and fat, and like other high-sugar, high-fat foods, excessive consumption can contribute to increased calorie intake. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated the components of fudge chips, such as cocoa and sugar, but do not set specific limits for 'fudge chips' as a composite ingredient.

Allergen info

Fudge chips may contain milk and soy, depending on the specific ingredients used (e.g., butter, milk solids, soy lecithin). They are not derived from fish, shellfish, eggs, tree nuts, peanuts, or wheat. Gluten is not typically present unless added as a separate ingredient.
