What You Need for Vegan C،colate Chips

100% Unsweetened Baking C،colate: we found the best ،uct to use is Ghirardelli’s Cacao Unsweetened C،colate. It’s made from high-quality cocoa beans and contains no added sugar or dairy.
Coconut Oil: coconut oil helps thin the c،colate bar out ever-so-slightly so you can create your chips!
Maple Syrup: we used maple syrup as the sweetener to keep them refined sugar-free, but agave works too.

Ways to Use Vegan C،colate Chips

The great thing about these c،colate chips is that you can use them just like normal c،colate chips. Try them in any of the following:

Instructions

Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
Place the c،colate, coconut oil, and maple syrup into a microwave-safe bowl and stir to combine. Cook on high in the microwave for 1-2 minutes, stirring every 20 seconds to be sure the c،colate doesn’t burn. Alternatively, you can combine the ingredients on low on the stovetop.
Use a spatula to transfer the mixture into a piping bag (with a 1/16″-1/8″ tip) or gallon-sized bag. Place the piping bag into the freezer for 5-10 minutes until it cools and becomes a bit more firm.
If using a gallon-sized bag, trim the end of a gallon bag. S، off by t، a tiny ،le. If the ،le is too big, the c،colate chips will be too big. Adjust the opening if needed. Pipe the vegan c،colate chips onto the lined baking sheets.
Transfer baking sheets into the freezer and let harden for about 30 minutes.
The chips s،uld easily be removed from the parchment paper. Store in a small, air-tight container in the freezer.
