Some people can’t be trusted around a bag of chips. It’s not potato or tortilla chips that turn me into a ravenous fiend. It’s the chocolate kind. Regular old chocolate chips.
Yes, I love them in chocolate chip cookies, but more often than not, I eat chocolate chips straight out of the bag by the handful…and handful. Sometimes, I pour them into a small bowl or a measuring cup when I am feeling less feral. No matter the delivery system, it’s hard to stop eating them once I get started. Their teardrop shape and firm, yet melt-in-your-mouth texture make them more fun to eat than a regular piece of chocolate, or even a candy bar. I’ve even turned down fancy truffles for my beloved chips.
