My brain must be off right now, I read "chocolate chips" and pictured pieces of chocolate shaped like wood chips.

Which begs the question, why are those mini dollops of chocolate called "chocolate chips" when their shape isn't at all chiplike?

I Love Chocolate! just saying

Simply there is nothing like chocolate from Europe all a bit different as the milk cows are a bit different and the grasses are a bit different. Some specialty ones stand out but a common one that is really good is Lindt   Personal favorite Lindt Dark Chocolate with Hazelnuts in bar form.

Pretty sure my last avatar said "I love chocolate". So yea, chocolate is great.

One of the many great mysteries of chocolate products...

The best theory I can propose is the term "chip" is a generic term for pieces that are smaller than bite-size. Much like how you have the term for "car" when it can be a sedan, or wagon, or hatchback, or crossover, etc.

The only chip like pieces I have seen for chocolate comes in the Dreyer's ice cream containers, which is strange considering how they don't use the chips that are advertised as such.

The closest I've seen is indeed in ice cream. Local favorite Nastos would produce both a Choc Chip Ice Cream and a Chocolate Choc Chip Ice Cream, the first made with vanilla and the latter well duh chocolate, the "chips" were flat rhombus shaped bits that more resemble a wood chip or a chip off a chocolate bar, they've recently switched to a more common "drip" shape.

I don't understand the appeal of ice cream with solid bits in it. Totally clashes with the texture of the smooth creamy part. I prefer my ice cream to be homogeneously mixed.

I did see both Incubus and the Deftones at the Rolling Rock Town Fair something like 15 years ago.  The last show I went to was probably Incubus in Hershey, PA when Gruvis Malt (this awesome, now-defunct jazz-rock group from MA, kind of like a less acid-y version of Soul Coughing) opened for them.  I think that the lead singer from Gruvis Malt is still active in music scenes somewhere.

I've seen them 9 times now (Deftones) and have discovered many a good band through their openers. I saw Crosses and Team Sleep too. Those Chino side projects are varied. All over the place musically.

My go to ice cream is "moose tracks" which has tiny peanut butter cups and fudge swirls, so yeah... bits'll do for me. Though I don't really like hard chocolate chips (the ones actually shaped like chips) in ice cream or cherries and stuff like that.

[simlink 1,098]

I actually quite like ice cream with "bits" in it, too. Conpliments the texture of the ice cream to me. Much like Blizzards/McFleury's... Smarties McFleury's rock.

This summer, after one thing led to another I ended up with my little cousin's chocolate ice cream with gummy bears. Not something I normally would have ordered on my own but it had an interesting texture mix and flavor mashup as the fruit flavor of the gummy bear mixed with the chocolate flavor. Similar taste to say any fruit chocolate mix, orange and chocolate or strawberry and chocolate. A bit of a refreshing new take on plain chocolate ice cream for me, and I've even ordered it since.

Any fans of chocolate covered strawberries or other fruits?

It really depends on the bits for me.  Cookies?  A-okay!  Cookie dough?  Sign me up!  Nuts?  Blech.

We still on this?

5203: Woah its been a while since I posted on here.

Good news everybody! (read in Farnsworth voice). I'm moving out into the country! About 1.5 hours from the city, got a new job lined up and all. Found some really cool furniture for the new place today

Chocolate covered fruit is a concoction of deception and lies. It may look like candy on the outside, but inside there's healthy food!

Great! I just bought a new headset and it doesn't work.

Software problems.

[simlink 1,098]

@Duke: But some of it is actually pretty good!

Chocolate covered raisins are awesome.

[philforhockey51 4,211]

I guess we are still on this, now I want some chocolate.

[simlink 1,098]

Chptrk: I was actually thinking that as I wrote my previous post... they totally rock.

After seeing my previous comment about "healthy food", I now have this song in my head:

[Prophet42 1,501]

My wife and I are trying to eat healthier, but it is really hard with our busy schedules and all the available yummy bad food around.

Great, now I have to go out and buy some chocolate. CRAVINGS.

[simlink 1,098]

The cravings are real. I swear I had some chocolate around here somewhere...

Looks like the whole  page is dedicated to chocolate. 

[Duke87 1,070]

(5216)

Well, there are worse things to dedicate a whole page to.

So it's been a while since I posted here. What we do is basically just post and post until we reach a total 10 000 posts?

[Chptrk 86]

5218.

That's exactly what we do. Post and post until the thread it's 10,000. After that we start over!

 

..thread #2 was best thread..

[Duke87 1,070]

(5219)

Thread 1 was the fastest, though. Halfway through thread 2 the momentum kinda died and it has never gone back to what it once was.
