Weighing in at a substantial 3.5 grams each, these single-origin chocolate chips are fashioned for bakers and home chocolatiers of all levels. They were modeled after the hand-piped chips our Kitchen team used to make for the enormous cookies we serve in our cafés. Our Large Chips are fully tempered with a snappy, smooth, shiny finish — perfect for baking and making confections, from brownies and cookies to chocolate-dipped strawberries and homemade truffles. 

Each bag has enough Large Chips to make two batches of our Very Best Chocolate Chip Cookies, with a handful left over for nibbling. Find this recipe and others in our book, Making Chocolate: from Bean to Bar to S’more.

from Kokoa Kamili, Tanzania

Based in the southwestern Tanzanian village of Mbingu, Brian LoBue’s and Simran Bindra’s social enterprise, Kokoa Kamili, buys freshly harvested, unfermented cocoa beans from local smallholder farms and ferments them in a centralized facility. By carefully controlling fermentation and drying, they consistently produce delicious, high-quality beans that fetch a premium price from craft chocolate makers. That premium makes its way back to cacao growers and helps raise the price floor for Tanzanian cocoa.

About the Shape

“When heated, they shine like glass but keep a recognizable shape and enviable texture.”

— BLOOMBERG

Our friend Remy Labesque, a senior industrial designer, designed these molds and unique faceted chips for us. The traditional chocolate chip shape is optimized for the industrial manufacturing process, not necessarily for baking. Our chocolate facets feature a flat, pyramidal shape that allows the chocolate to melt on your tongue, the recommended technique for tasting chocolate. The end result is a faceted chip that is ideal for both baking and nibbling.
