Do you have a favorite kind of chocolate chips?

I use this chocolate for most of my melted chocolate needs because it melts smoother than chocolate chips. There are no stabilizers in it, so I don’t have to “finesse it” to get it to melt. None of that in and out of the microwave seven times, stirring in between each 20-second burst and hoping it doesn’t scorch monkey business.

For my day-to-day baking that calls for in tact chocolate chips, I use Trader Joe’s semisweet chocolate chips (and stock up on their white baking chips before Christmas since they’re seasonal at my store).

White baking chips and chocolate chips

Because I shop for many of my baking supplies based on price, if I didn’t have access to a Trader Joe’s, I would probably use Ralph’s grocery store-brand semi-sweet or Nestle Tollhouse semi-sweet morsels.

I don’t splurge on more expensive chocolate chips like Ghirardelli or Scharffen Berger or fancier chocolate chunks for the “everyday” goodies that I make for my family. I reserve that kind of chocolate for extra-special baking occasions.

Happy Chocolate Chip Day and I hope you have something with chocolate chips in it today!

  1. Never knew it was national chocolate chip day — everything looks so drool-worthy!! Everyday should be a national choc chip day ;)

  2. Wow, I didn’t even know there was a national chocolate chip day, too funny! Great recipes here, they make me want to go buy some ASAP!

  3. Hi Averie. Sorry I haven’t commented in a while, I have stopped by everyday though and read your posts. This May has been super crazy and I can’t wait for summer!

    I made my favorite chocolate chip cookies for National chocolate chip day and sadly we finished off the last cookie last night. I always use Ghirardelli 60% because I can get them so cheap up here. I always find them on sale at Safeway when I run out. It’s like fate! I think I picked up a boatload one time at 2 for $4.00 or buy one get one free. I also get the chocolate baking bars on sale as well. I have a whole shelf lined with these puppies.

    BTW, those boots that you picked up for Skyler are just too cute! I remember when Zoe was into pink like that. Not so much anymore as she is 12.

    1. Absolutely no apologies necessary! And $2 bucks a bag is a great score…that’s cheaper than TJs. Gotta love stocking up at sales like that. I bet it feels like just yesterday your “Baby” was 5. And now she’s 12! I know I’ll be in the same boat soon!

  4. National Chocolate Chip Day is a day that I definitely need to celebrate! What a happy day!! :)

  5. What a great list of recipes!
    I hope that I find time this weekend to make those no bake coconut chocolate chip balls. They look delish!

  6. These are the chocolate chips I buy:

    I get the mini chips and the mega chunks. They are GOOD!

    As for fav recipes with chocolate chips, well…we have made almost all your chocolate chip cookie/bar recipes but, I gotta say, this one is my boys’ favorite:

    http://www.loveveggiesandyoga.com/2009/09/vegan-maple-nut-chocolate-oaties.html

    I think I have made those about a thousand times!! They make the house smell absolutely divine! :-)

    1. That’s interesting that of ALL the recipes of mine that you’ve made, those are the ones you really love. Do you follow the recipe to the T? I haven’t made them in…like 3 years! Lol. I remember them as being good, but not like…omg I am going to make these again and again. Now, ask me about cake bars that I’ve been making lately..now THOSE are repeat recipes :)

  7. I honestly don’t think my mouth has watered so much at one post in my life! Chocolate chips = major weakness of mine. Delish! I didn’t even realize it was National Chocolate Chip Day – probably a good thing haha!

  8. I am always behind with these holidays – I had no idea!! I baked something with chocolate chips today, though. You have such a great round up!

    1. Okay, DUH. I see you listed butterscotch and others as great chips for the Samoas Bars. Got to try them all!

  9. I am not picky when it comes to picking out chocolate… as long as it tastes yummy!

  10. YUM!!!!! Ok, these all look fabulous…I need to have more time so I can freaking bake more! I want all of these items in my house..and in my belly ;)

    Ok, whenever I read or hear “Nestle Tollhouse” I think of that Friends episode..did you watch friends?!

    LOL

    xxoo

  11. Favorite chocolate chip recipe: jar of Smuckers all natural peanut butter + bag of chocolate chips + biiiig spoon = ME VERY HAPPY :D

    I have never met a chocolate chip I didn’t like. If I am using milk chocolate in a recipe (which is not very often) it has to be Hershey brand for me for 2 reasons 1. of all the milk chocolate I have had, their flavor is superior in my opinion and 2. I live about 20 minutes from Hershey, PA and it just feels wrong to not “buy local” lol. Dark chocolate I usually do buy Ghirardelli, but in a recent lifestyle change I started using the Enjoy Life Vegan Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips/Chunks (which I have to say taste amazing!! I even found my fiancé dipping into the bag, which I then had to kindly explained that due to the fact that they are at least double the price of the other expensive chocolate chips we had on hand that he should really use the Ghirardelli- just as awesome- less expensive).

    1. there is a sort of general “underground” consensus that TJs choc chips are vegan, even if they aren’t labeled as such b/c they’re not certified vegan. I kwym about the Enjoy Life being great, but 3x the price of others! Try the TJs if you have one in your area…and really, many semi-sweet choc chips should be vegan as there should be no milk added or involved, just cocoa…but label reading is key!

      1. I love TJ’s but I think the closest one is around 1.5+ hours away ;(. I did write to them BEGGING them to open a store closer LOL.
