Description

Colored chocolate drops are small pieces of chocolate that come in a variety of vibrant shades, primarily used to decorate and add a sweet touch to different culinary preparations. These drops, also known as colored chocolate chips, are made from milk, white, or sweet chocolate, dyed with safe food colorings.

Their origin is linked to the baking tradition in the United States, where chocolate chips became popular in homemade cookies and desserts. Over time, chocolate drops diversified to include colored versions that provide an attractive visual element in baking, such as on cupcakes, cakes, cookies, and ice cream.

Properties: These drops provide a sweet flavor and a crunchy texture to preparations. They are made primarily from cocoa, sugar, and cocoa butter, and usually contain approved food colorings. They not only enhance the flavor but also decorate, making any recipe look more appealing and festive.

Synonyms in Latin America: they may be called gotas de chocolate de colores, chispas de chocolate de colores, granillos de chocolate, or simply confites de chocolate.
