Description

Dark Chocolate Kisses are small and delicious chocolate pieces or drops made primarily from pure cocoa, sugar, and occasionally a touch of cocoa butter or vanilla. This ingredient is very popular for incorporating into a wide variety of recipes, from cookies and cakes to ice cream desserts and brownies, providing an intense flavor and a melt-in-your-mouth texture.

Their origin dates back to the European chocolate-making tradition, although today they are produced all over the world, taking advantage of the quality and flavor of dark cocoa which contains a high percentage of cocoa solids and less sugar than milk chocolate. This not only enhances its flavor but also offers benefits associated with the moderate consumption of pure cocoa.

Properties: Dark chocolate kisses are a source of antioxidants, especially flavonoids, which contribute to cardiovascular health and may improve mood. Furthermore, they contain minerals such as magnesium, iron, and potassium. When cooking, their melting point is ideal for melting smoothly and enhancing desserts.

In different Latin American countries, dark chocolate kisses may also be known as bitter chocolate chips, chocolate drops, or simply dark chocolate chips. They are an essential ingredient for those seeking a crunchy texture and a deep flavor in their sweet preparations.
