Can I Use Chocolate Chips for Melting in a Recipe?
Most commercial-brands of chocolate chips are made of ‘baking resistant’ chocolate, fabricated with less cocoa butter than standard chocolate so they keep their shape when heated. (Think of classic chocolate chip cookies with clearly-discernible chips.) If you melt them, you’ll often end up with a sludgy, thick pool of chocolate rather than one that’s smooth.
Some recipes, however, may specifically call for melting chips and although I can’t vouch for every recipe out there, I advise people to follow the author’s advice. Also there are now many chocolate chips that are made from premium-quality chocolate, such as those from Ghiradelli and Scharffen Berger, which can be used for melting as well as baking in cookies.
