Ghirardelli 72% Cacao Chocolate Chip, 5 Pounds, 2 Per Case

A higher concentration of chocolate liquor gives these Ghirardelli 72 percent cacao dark chocolate chips a rich, slightly bitter flavor that stands up to high heat and holds its shape in the oven. Each chip is cut to a .65M size, yielding roughly 650 chips per pound, so they distribute evenly without overwhelming the dough. The result is a deep chocolate presence with just a small amount of sugar, making them ideal for recipes that call for bold, nuanced dark chocolate.

Uses

• Cookies and brownies: The higher cacao level delivers a stronger dark chocolate taste that shines through in classic cookie doughs and fudgy brownie batters.
• Toppings and garnishes: Sprinkle over ice cream, yogurt, or finished desserts for a visual and flavor contrast.
• Specialty drinks: Stir into hot cocoa or coffee for a richer, more complex chocolate note than semi-sweet chips provide.
• Bulk baking: The 5-pound pack format supports high-volume production without constant replenishment.
