They’re sold mainly as baking chips (often labeled “Form: Chip”) and as melting wafers or dipping chocolate designed for melting and coating confections.
Melting wafers are formulated for candy making and dipping: they melt smoothly into a glossy coating, produce a consistent texture and sheen, and are described as not requiring tempering for reliable results.
Labels vary by product but commonly include Kosher, gluten-free, dairy-free and vegan. Some items are marketed as free from many common allergens, while others explicitly list contained allergens such as soy or milk on the label.
Options include standard chips sweetened with cane sugar, no‑sugar‑added versions that use noncaloric sweeteners such as stevia, and products marketed as having no refined or cane sugar.
Reviewers commonly report strong melting performance: the products melt smoothly and quickly, are well suited for dipping and coating, and usually require little or no extra thinning.
Visible certifications and labels include Fair Trade certified cocoa, certified gluten‑free, Non‑GMO Project Verified, vegan, and kosher on various items.
