365 by Whole Foods Market, Semi-Sweet Chocolate Baking Chips, 12 Ounce

hese are my go-to chocolate chips—affordable, reliable, and indistinguishable in taste from the big-name brands. I’ve used the classic chocolate chip cookie recipe we all grew up with and swapped in the 365 brand chips. My kids can’t tell the difference—and neither can I.They melt beautifully for baking or drizzling, and their size is just right: not too bulky, but not so small that they disappear in the dough. The sugar content strikes a nice balance—not overly sweet—and they still deliver that rich, smooth semi-sweet flavor you'd expect.Functionally, they hold their shape when needed and create a gooey melt when desired. Great texture, excellent bakability, and an unbeatable value for the quality. These chips earn a permanent spot in my pantry.

I came upon this brand of chocolate chips and decided to give them a try. I am very happy I did, they are my new favorite chocolate chips to use in my cookies. They do not get soft and mushy when baking with them, they stay solid and best of all, they are so yummy! I'm glad I found these!

I bought these chips to make what we call "Magic Bars". My family loves these bars and they are a staple at parties and family get-togethers. I copied and pasted the recipe as I tried to make a link and it was denied. I usually have to end up making 2 pans so there are actually some left for our guests because certain people who shall remain unnamed like to eat my food that is meant for guests before the guests get the food and I am left scrambling to make something else. These are the bars that my family will do that. These chips are perfect for my magic bars. They are not too sweet, but add enough flavor to contrast the nuts (use pecans) and coconut and enhance the butterscotch chips. And, the price cannot be beat. This brand is amazing and I wish they had more of my pantry staples because I would buy them all. They beat the name brands in my family's opinion.Ingredients:2 cups graham cracker crumbsOne 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk1 cup semisweet chocolate chips1 cup butterscotch or peanut butter chips1 cup pecan pieces, roughly chopped1 cup shredded, sweetened coconutInstructions:Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.Combine the melted butter and graham cracker crumbs in a small bowl with your hands (the mixture should hold together when squeezed). Pour the mixture into the prepared dish and press it into the bottom in an even layer, using the bottom of a measuring cup to help. Pour the sweetened condensed milk over the crumbs, then sprinkle the chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, pecans and coconut over the milk.Bake until the sides are golden brown and begin to pull away from the dish, 30 to 40 minutes. Let cool completely in the dish. Cut into 48 small pieces (they are rich). The cookies can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days.But seriously, who will cut this into 48 small pieces? In our house they get cut into about 20-24 squares and scarfed down in about 10 minutes. No need to store in refrigerator if they are already gone. We love these bars and these chips are just right for the recipe!

I love these chocolate chips for baking cookies! The taste is so good compared to other chocolates I have tasted. It's not too bitter for me, but it's not too sweet for other people! The chocolate chip size are perfect where they aren't too big, but they're not too small. They are a bit bigger than mini chocolate chips, but are so good!

Good quality chips but def not semi-sweet. Waaay too sweet for my baking. Shame bc price point is nice.

Pleased with the value and quality.
