Homemade Chocolate Chips
These homemade chocolate chips bring together cocoa powder, coconut oil, and honey for small chocolate bites you can pipe and freeze yourself. They have a cocoa-forward flavor, a touch of vanilla, and a little salt to balance the sweetness. The method is simple: gently melt, mix until glossy, then pipe onto parchment paper.
