Chocolate Chip

Chocolate chips or chocolate morsels are small chunks of sweetened chocolate, used as an ingredient in a number of desserts (notably chocolate chip cookies and muffins), in trail mix, and less commonly in some breakfast foods such as pancakes. They are often manufactured as teardrop-shaped volumes with flat circular bases; another variety of chocolate chips has the shape of rectangular or square blocks. They are available in various sizes, usually less than 3⁄8 in (10 mm) in diameter.
