Guittard, Extra Dark Chocolate Chips, 63% Cacao

So sweet, so small,
they do declare, and make thy call
Thou shall not deny this wonder.

When my wife was nursing our son Cecil, her diet was restricted to non-dairy items. So, while I would have my chocolate at night, she found some Semi sweet chocolate chips from Trader Joe's that were ok to eat.

A few months later, I ran into Guittard chocolate chips in the baking aisle. I like the E Guittard chocolate bars and found the Guittard Chocolate chips to be incredibly well put together.

The chocolate chips themselves are a true dark chip and the vanilla is clear and present - all in all, great chocolate. These chips respond well in baking too -- try them in pancakes for a bittersweet add to a hearty oatmeal based-cake.

I've linked to the Guittard site here, however, you will need to search these chips out -- some supermarkets carry them. The Guittard bars are also terrific -- the bard will be back to review aald.
