If there’s one food that can take us right back to our childhood, it has to be chocolate chips. Most of us probably remember dunking chocolate chip cookies into a tall glass of milk or how good it smelled when fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies came out of the oven. Adults, as well as children, love chocolate chips in everything — cookies, cakes, muffins, brownies, pancakes, and ice cream, just to name a few.
Head to the store and buy a few bags of dairy-free chocolate chips. Or you can make your own Homemade Chocolate Chips so you can choose the ingredients.
The only things better than chocolate chips are chocolate chunks. We’ve got lots of recipes with chips and chunks. Take a look at these 13 Killer Vegan Chocolate Chip Recipes and 17 Crazy Cool Ways to Use Chocolate Chips.
