Callebaut micro semi-sweet chocolate chips are the smallest chip in the range, roughly 10,000 pieces per pound, packed in a 30 pound case. Each chip is barely bigger than a grain of rice, which turns dark chocolate into a sprinkle: fine enough to scatter over ice cream and cupcakes, fold into mousse, or coat a truffle without a single chip standing out.

With about 43% cocoa, the flavor is rich roasted cocoa with a restrained sweetness and a touch of vanilla, and the chips hold their shape through baking. Because the pieces are so small, they distribute through a batter almost like a chocolate confetti, giving a cookie, muffin, or biscotti chocolate in every bite with no pockets and no gaps. They finish a cake rim or an ice cream scoop with a neat, even coat, roll a truffle or cake pop in seconds, and melt down fast and clean for drizzles and ganache.

Vanleer Mini Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips, 4000 Count are the next size up for muffins and small cookies, and Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips, 1000 Count are the full size classic for cookies and brownies.
