What it is
Milk chocolate chips are small pieces of sweetened milk chocolate. They are made from cocoa solids, cocoa butter, sugar, milk solids, and an emulsifier like soy lecithin. They are commonly used as an ingredient or topping in baked goods and confectionery.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add milk chocolate chips for their sweet, milky chocolate flavor and texture. They melt and spread when heated, adding richness and chewiness to cookies, cakes, and muffins. They are also used in snack mixes, ice cream, and as a coating.
Health notes
Milk chocolate chips are primarily a source of sugar and fat. The FDA considers milk chocolate chips as a food ingredient. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many individual components of milk chocolate, such as sugar and cocoa. Evidence suggests that high intake of added sugars can contribute to health issues.
Allergen info
Milk chocolate chips contain milk, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. They may also contain soy lecithin, which is derived from soy, another major allergen.
