What Are Dark Chocolate Chunks?

When you want visible pockets of chocolate in every slice, the size of the piece matters. Gerbs Dark Chocolate Extra-Large Chunks are made for bakers who manage food allergies and still want bakery-style results: dairy-free, soy-lecithin-free, and guaranteed free of the 14 major allergens, built from just three clean ingredients. These oversized semi-sweet chunks melt into generous puddles of real dark chocolate, the kind you usually only get from a specialty bakery, without any cross-contact worry.

Each chunk 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 extra-large format is ideal for cookies, brownies, and bark where you want dramatic, melty pockets of chocolate rather than evenly distributed chips, all backed by the Gerbs Guarantee.

Dark chocolate chunks are larger, irregular pieces of semi-sweet dark chocolate, cut bigger than a standard chip so they melt into sizable pools rather than holding a uniform shape. Gerbs Extra-Large Chunks are made from the same clean, dairy-free dark chocolate as our traditional chips, just in a bigger format. Because they are made with non-dairy cocoa butter and contain no milk or soy lecithin, they are naturally vegan and work anywhere you want bold, visible chocolate: thick cookies, brownies, muffins, and broken-up chocolate bark.

Key Health Benefits

Gerbs Dark Chocolate Extra-Large Chunks keep the ingredient list short and clean while you bake.

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. A semi-sweet dark chunk keeps more cocoa, and its naturally occurring compounds, in the recipe than milk chocolate.

Dairy-Free and Vegan

Made with non-dairy cocoa butter and no milk, these chunks fit vegan, dairy-free, and allergen-conscious baking while still melting like premium chocolate.

Provides Dietary Fiber

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

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

Flavor & Texture

These chunks carry a deep, semi-sweet dark chocolate flavor, rich and cocoa-forward with no milky aftertaste. Straight from the bag they are firm with a satisfying snap, and in the oven they melt into large, glossy pools of chocolate. Because each piece is bigger than a standard chip, you get dramatic, gooey pockets of dark chocolate in every bite.

Ingredients

Organic Cane Sugar, Unsweetened Chocolate, Non-Dairy Cocoa Butter.

Baking Tips

Use Gerbs Dark Chocolate Extra-Large Chunks wherever you want bold, visible chocolate.

  • Fold into cookie and brownie batter for bakery-style melty puddles; press a few extra chunks on top before baking for a finished look.
  • Melt gently for dipping or a dairy-free ganache, warming in short bursts and stirring, since dark chocolate scorches faster than milk chocolate.
  • Break or chop the chunks for chocolate bark, or leave them whole for maximum pools.
  • Bring to room temperature before melting and keep away from water, which can cause chocolate to seize.

Storage Recommendations

Store Gerbs dark chocolate chunks 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 chunks keep their flavor and texture for up to one year. A pale, whitish bloom can appear if the chocolate gets warm; it is harmless and bakes away. Refrigeration is not necessary and can introduce moisture, so a cool pantry is best.

FAQ

Are Gerbs dark chocolate chunks dairy-free and vegan?

Yes. They are made with non-dairy cocoa butter and contain no milk, so they are both dairy-free and vegan. They are produced on dedicated equipment in our Johnston, Rhode Island facility that is free of milk and the other major allergens, with no shared lines and no co-packers.

Do these chocolate chunks contain soy lecithin?

No. Unlike many chocolate products, Gerbs Extra-Large Chunks use no soy lecithin. The full ingredient list is organic cane sugar, unsweetened chocolate, and non-dairy cocoa butter, so they are free of soy along with the other 13 major allergens.

What is the difference between the chunks and traditional chips?

The chocolate is identical; only the piece size differs. The extra-large chunks melt into bigger, dramatic pockets of chocolate, while traditional chips are smaller and hold their shape for even distribution. Choose chunks for bakery-style puddles in cookies and brownies, and chips for classic, evenly studded baking.

Can I use the chunks in place of chocolate chips?

Yes. Use them as a one-to-one swap by weight for semi-sweet chocolate chips. Because the pieces are larger, you will get fewer but bigger pockets of chocolate, and because they contain no milk, the cocoa flavor is a touch more intense than a milk-chocolate chip.

How should I store dark chocolate chunks?

Keep them in an airtight container in a cool, dry pantry away from heat and sunlight, and reseal the bag between uses. Stored this way they last up to a year. If a pale bloom forms from warmth, the chocolate is still safe to use and melts away when baked.
