Dark Chocolate | Traditional Chips

For bakers who manage food allergies, the chocolate chip is usually the hardest ingredient to trust. Most baking chips carry soy lecithin, milk, or run on shared equipment with tree nuts. Gerbs Dark Chocolate Traditional Chips are built differently: dairy-free, soy-lecithin-free, and guaranteed free of the 14 major allergens, made from just three clean ingredients. They are the reliable, allergen-friendly baking chip for classic chocolate chip cookies and any recipe where you want real semi-sweet dark chocolate without the cross-contact worry.

Each chip is made from organic cane sugar, unsweetened chocolate, and non-dairy cocoa butter, with no milk, no soy, and no artificial colors or flavors. Gerbs melts, forms, and packages its chocolate in small batches in our family owned and operated facility in Johnston, Rhode Island, on dedicated equipment that never touches the major allergens. No co-packers, no shared lines. The traditional chip size holds its shape in the oven and gives you the familiar pockets of dark chocolate you expect in cookies, muffins, scones, and quick breads, all backed by the Gerbs Guarantee.

Dark chocolate is chocolate made from cocoa solids, cocoa butter, and sugar, without the milk solids found in milk chocolate. Its depth of flavor comes from the percentage of cacao: the higher the cacao, the more intense and less sweet the chocolate. Gerbs Dark Chocolate Traditional Chips are semi-sweet, a balanced style that pairs a rich, true chocolate flavor with enough sweetness for everyday baking. Because they are made with non-dairy cocoa butter and contain no milk or soy lecithin, they are naturally vegan and a dependable substitute anywhere a recipe calls for standard chocolate chips.

Gerbs Dark Chocolate Traditional Chips let you bake a homemade dessert while keeping the ingredient list short and clean.

A Meaningful Source of Iron

One 1 oz (28 g) serving delivers 7.56 mg of iron, about 40% of the Daily Value. Iron is a mineral the body uses to make hemoglobin and carry oxygen in the blood, according to the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements.

Naturally Contains Flavanols

Dark chocolate is made from cocoa, which naturally contains flavanols, a group of plant compounds studied for their antioxidant activity. Choosing a semi-sweet dark chip over milk chocolate keeps more of the cocoa, and its naturally occurring compounds, in the recipe.

Dairy-Free and Vegan

With non-dairy cocoa butter and no milk, these chips fit vegan, dairy-free, and allergen-conscious baking without sacrificing the texture or melt of a traditional chocolate chip.

Provides Dietary Fiber

Each serving contains 2 g of dietary fiber, naturally present in the cocoa, plus a small amount of plant protein.

As with all foods, individual results may vary. Gerbs makes no medical claims.

Serving size 1 oz (28 g). About 32 servings per container.

These chips deliver a deep, semi-sweet dark chocolate flavor: rich and cocoa-forward, with just enough sweetness to round it out and no milky aftertaste. The texture is firm and snappy straight from the bag, and they soften into smooth, molten pockets when baked. The traditional chip shape holds up in the oven rather than spreading, so you get distinct bites of chocolate throughout cookies and muffins.

Use Gerbs Dark Chocolate Traditional Chips as a one-to-one swap for any standard chocolate chip.

• Fold them straight into cookie, muffin, scone, and quick-bread batters at a 1:1 ratio.
• Melt gently for dipping, drizzling, or a dairy-free ganache: warm in short bursts and stir, since dark chocolate scorches faster than milk chocolate.
• Add a handful to allergen-free trail mix, oatmeal, or pancake batter.
• For even melting, bring the chips to room temperature before melting and avoid any contact with water, which can cause chocolate to seize.

Store Gerbs dark chocolate chips in an airtight container in a cool, dry pantry away from heat and direct sunlight, ideally between 60 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit, and reseal the bag between uses. Stored properly, the chips keep their flavor and texture for up to one year. A pale, whitish film (bloom) can appear if the chocolate gets warm; it is harmless and bakes away. Refrigeration is not necessary and can introduce moisture, so the pantry is best.
