Milk Chocolate Style Baking Chips

Updated: Okay, I now know why they taste different, and less bitter, than the Lily's bars. There's a different sweetener or ratio, or something, as these, eaten like candy, will give one the toots. Its advisable to only eat these as intended, baking chips, inside a cookie and the like. Original: I tried Lily's milk chocolate bar years ago and it was meh, a bit bitter, not milky and not sweet. As such, I wasn't ever going to bother with the chips. They had to be the same, right? After trying ChocZero and finding them weak, waxy flavored, like the Easter foil eggs, but not overly bad, I thought I'd try these and possibly mix the two, to make some chocolate candies. I tried these straight out of the bag and oh my wow, they were good just straight. A bit sweet for me but not overly sweet and I could taste the milky flavor as well. Why isn't the milk chocolate bars that way? I just wish the low carb chocolate manufactures would sell their chocolate in blocks, to reduce over all cost and one could just shave it when making candy, and not needing chips. Having said that, these will now become a regular purchase, but I'm still planning on experimenting with combing some chocolates to get a less sweet taste, for my keto chocolate covered caramels, peanut butter cups, chocolate crunch bars and chocolate covered nuts.

So pleased to find these chips since they have far fewer calories because they are sweetened with stevia rather than sugar. They still taste great. They are expensive but worth it if you're counting calories. Mostly I use them for the chocolate chip ice cream I make, but was pleased to read the reviews of people who'd ordered them during hot weather and found they'd melted because that means they'll melt well for making chocolate sauces too. Chocolate never travels well in hot weather so best stock up when it's cool if you can't find the product in a local store. The natural products store in my area that carries them has a lower price but is quite a drive so not convenient for me. This product really fits the bill for my needs.

I use these chips in many Weight Watcher recipes. 30 chips are only 2 points! They are great in muffins, on top of WW 'nice cream' and/or as a chocolatey snack. I've ordered online when I can't find in my local grocery and usually no problem, but if you live in the south not a great idea ordering in the summer. They pack them with an ice pack, but on my last order even the ice pack was very warm. Needless to say the chips were one big melted mess. No problem ordering any other time of year.

I live a Keto lifestyle which could be difficult because I love sugar and chocolate. Because of these chocolate chips it is not a problem! I have been buying these for years mostly for making ice cream, but when I'm craving chocolate I grab a handful and pop them in my mouth. This is the best tasting sugar free chocolate I have tried.

I am diabetic and I love Chocolate. I'm also Gluten intolerant and have a few other food sensitivities. This means I bake. A lot. Lily's milk chocolate is a huge favorite of mine and fits in with my particular diet. Thank you lily's.

It's June and I just received my chocolate. I love the product, but I don't think I'll order it again in summer. The chips were all melted into a big glob of chocolate. It's still great stuff (that's why I gave it 5 stars) and I'm not sorry I got it. I'm not even sorry about the condition it came in. I intend to melt it down further and drizzle it over ice cream or something. It was package very well. It even comes with an ice pack thingy. It was also wrapped in a thick aluminum foil thingy. A sticker on the box said, "AVOID SUN EXPOSURE", but there's only so much you can do in this heat. My advice if you still want to order it: don't expect chocolate chips.

I bought these knowing I was not a fan of Lily's milk chocolate bars and was pleasantly surprised. These chips are tops, more chocolate flavor coming through and perfect sweetness. I also bought Choc Zero's version of these and it's Lily's 1 - Choc Zero 0 on milk chocolate chips in taste, texture, quantity and price. I hope I can still order these in the summer. In the winter, no issues with melting or delivery.

Yumminess. I eat them by the handful. Oh yes, Buyer Beware--they're highly addictive, especially with a scoop of peanut butter. Can I hear a yay for a quick Keto Peanut Butter cup. A great Keto friendly chocolate chip. Maybe a little too good. I've eaten up to 4 bags in a week. Oops. How did that happen?!?!? I know, they are deliciously creamy and rich, especially the milk chocolate.

Don't bother buying this...all melted and bloomed in transit.
