These round, large, milk chocolate chips are created using the finest sustainably sourced cacao from Central and South America. Unlike many store-brand varieties, French Broad Milk Chocolate does not contain soy lecithin, a food additive used as an emulsifier. Sweet, but not cloying, we found that the texture, whether melted or bitten straight into, to be smooth and creamy, dare we say silky. Plus, we love how beautifully these milk chocolate chips are packaged.

How to use

The term “chocolate chip” first appeared in the late 1800s.

The name referred to the shape of an English tea biscuit. Soon after, “chocolate chips” were a popular confection commonly found in candy shops, consisting of a form of molasses covered in chocolate. It wasn’t until the 1930s that Ruth Wakefield of Whitman, Massachusetts, a trained cook who ran the kitchen of the Toll House restaurant, chopped up some chocolate and added it to her Butter Drop Do cookies, which is believed to be the genesis of Tollhouse Cookies, and chocolate chips as we’ve come to know them.

HOW TO USE

Use in any recipes that call for bittersweet or semi-sweet chocolate chips, or in place of chopped chocolate if you lightly chop them first.

After a trip together to Costa Rica, Dan Rattigan and Jael Skeffington decided to drop out of graduate school and buy an abandoned cacao farm near Puerto Viejo de Limon, where they eventually sold coffee and chocolate desserts to the community. When they moved back to the U.S., they began French Broad Chocolates out of their home kitchen, later opening their first store in Asheville, North Carolina, in 2008.
