Did you know you can make your own chocolate chips?They are very healthy and contain no harmful ingredients.They are vegan friendly as well.The article will show you how to make chocolate chips.
Step 1: Line two of baking sheets with paper.
You can use wax paper if you don't have any parchment paper.The chocolate chips will be placed on the sheets.
Step 2: A double boiler should be set up.
Place a small pot of water on the stove by filling it with water.There is a glass bowl on top of the pot.The bottom of the bowl should not be near the water.It is possible to melt baker's chocolate in the microwave, but only if you have a double boiler.You will not be as likely to burn your chocolate.
Step 3: The baker's chocolate can be broken into small pieces.
It will be easier to melt.Unlike other types of chocolate, baker's chocolate does not contain milk.It's ideal for vegan as well.
Step 4: The ingredients should be in the glass bowl.
The butter should not be used if you want to make dark chocolate chips.The butter will give you richer chocolate, but it will also make the chips softer in the end.Chocolate chips made without butter will be bitter and less likely to melt.The final chocolate chips will be soft and melt quicker if you use coconut oil instead.If you don't have maple syrup, you can use maple sugar crystals, coconut sugar, or a few drops of stevia instead.
Step 5: The ingredients should be melted over low to medium heat.
The stove should be turned on to low or medium heat.When everything is melted and mixed together, stir the ingredients often.The melted chocolate won't stick to a silicone spoon or spatula.If you are using powdered chocolate, make sure the butter is melted first.
Step 6: The bag has a small tip and is fitted with a melted mixture.
If you don't have a pastry bag, spoon the mixture into a freezer bag.Remove one of the corners at the bottom from the bag.You will get chocolate "kisses" instead of "chips" if you cut too much.
Step 7: The chocolate can be piped onto the baking sheet.
The points can be created by lightly touching the center of the chip.The toothpick needs to be lifted up and away.
Step 8: The chocolate chips have to be hardened.
Depending on how warm your kitchen is, this may take a while.Put the baking sheets in the freezer for half an hour to speed up the process.
Step 9: The chocolate chips should be kept in the freezer.
Pick out what you need when you take the container out.

Step 13: The butter should be melted over low to medium heat.
If you want it to melt evenly, stir it every so often with a spoon or spatula.
Step 14: The rest of your ingredients should be put in a container.
If you're having trouble finding them, you don't have to add in raw cashews or dry milk powder.The ingredients help make the white chocolate chips creamy.
Step 15: The bag has a small tip.
A re-sealable freezer bag is needed if you don't have one.Zip the bag shut after spooning the mixture into it.You have a makeshift pastry bag if you cut one of the corners at the bottom.You will get chocolate "kisses" instead of "chips" if you cut off too much.
