I was baking last weekend and as I chopped my cheap & cheerful chocolate for chocolate chips I wondered if everyone does this?
Chocolate chips for baking between 80p & £1.07 for 100g
Any supermarket own brand value range chocolate between 27p & 30p per 100g
I just chop it up with my great big knife. It takes 2 minutes.
Obviously if your recipe calls for 80% cocoa fancy chocolate this is not going to work, but for pretty much everything I cook it's great.

Do they work just like chocolate chips that come in packets?
ReplyDeleteI use them for cookies, muffins and cakes and they seem to do exactly the same job.
ReplyDeleteI never thought to do that but you're right. It's SO much cheaper!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great tip, I could even buy the brand name cheaper than the chips
ReplyDeleteGood point! When it's for baking it seems a waste to use anything too expensive - I know I can't taste the difference!
