I like those chocolate chunks. But apparently they are a seasonal item (no idea what season). They are back as of 2023 and I snapped up some. I like them because of the PP's description of the odd shapes making for better cookies.

For chocolate chip cookies, we still like Nestle.

But for oatmeal-chocolate cookies or a chocolate cake, we like chunks. Kroger's Private Selection Dark Chocolate Chunks are 62% cacao and milk-free. Aldi's 62% are the best regular price/deal ($1.95/10 oz in Nov 2022).

Oatmeal and a pinch of cinnamon in chocolate chip cookies is a revelation for me. Will try dark chocolate instead of semi sweet.

I like Guittard. Excellent quality, not too sweet, and stronger on sustainability and ethical practices than most large brands.

Brown sugar - dark

I love Ghirardelli milk chocolate chips. I usually add oatmeal too.

I typically chop up a Ghirardelli semi sweet baking bar. I like how the different sizes of chunks and flakes make a more interesting cookie

What are your favorite chocolate chips? Other ingredients? I just tried the Kirkland ones at Costco after they replaced nestle and… I don’t think I love them? Maybe I have to up my cookie ingredients game.
