I just got some Nestle Dark Chocolate morsels and I don’t believe they have any soy in them, just an FYI.

i tried making these with honey instead. totally didn’t work.

but!

the honey separated and it came out like those little squares of chocolate with caramel in the center.

win.

to firm up the chips I use old fashion parafin wax (like what is used in canning). does not take much but helps it hold its form better

Thanks for this recipe! I found it by looking for homemade chocolate chips, but the trail mix sounds deeeelicious, too!

I’m not sure they would work with saflower oil…not sure they’d set up. You can use butter though!

Looks awesome!!
Can you use something other than coconut oil?? Would safflower oil work? I’m dying to make these, but I won’t be able to get coconut oil for a while!

Soy lecithin is not very good for you, which is one good reason for making homemade chocolate chips!

Thank you so much for your reply… I have been wondering about using
Soy Lecithin. I’ve read how it is used alot in candy making to act as
a binder. Do you think that would help with keeping the chocolate chips
in their form once they are baked in a cookie? I so appreciate any help
that I can get.

Thanks so much!

Yes, they do have a hard time keeping their shape. Try freezing the chunks before stirring them into the chocolate chip cookie dough and see if that helps at all. :)
