[[Chocolate]] chips are small chunks of [[chocolate]]. They are often sold in a round, flat-bottomed teardrop shape. They are available in numerous sizes, from large to miniature, but are usually less than 1 cm in diameter. Another variety of chocolate chips is rectangular or square chocolate chunks.
====Culinary uses====
Chocolate chips can be used in [[cookies]], [[pancakes]], [[waffles]], [[cakes]], pudding, muffins, crêpes, pies, hot chocolate, and various types of pastry.


Ingredient description here
They are also found in many other retail food products such as granola bars, [[ice cream]], and trail mix.


Chocolate chips can also be melted and used in sauces and other recipes. The chips melt best at temperatures between 104 and 113 °F (40 and 45 °C). The melting process starts at around 32 °C (90 °F) when the [[cocoa butter]] in the chips starts to heat. The cooking temperature must never exceed 115 °F (for milk and white) or 48 °C (120 °F) (for dark) or the chocolate will burn. Although convenient, melted chocolate chips are not always recommended as a substitute for melted baking chocolate. Because most chocolate chips are designed to retain their shape when baking, they contain less [[cocoa]] butter than baking chocolate. This can make them more difficult to work with in melted form.
====Origin====
Chocolate chips are a required ingredient in [[chocolate chip cookies]], which were invented in 1937 when Ruth Graves Wakefield of the Toll House Inn in the town of Whitman, Massachusetts added cut-up chunks of a semi-sweet Nestlé chocolate bar to a cookie recipe. The cookies were a huge success, and Wakefield reached an agreement in 1939 with Nestlé to add her recipe to the chocolate bar's packaging in exchange for a lifetime supply of chocolate. Initially, Nestlé included a small chopping tool with the chocolate bars. In 1941 Nestlé and one or more of its competitors started selling the chocolate in chip (or "morsel") form.
