Green sprinkles

Green chips are small pieces or pearls of chocolate with green coloring, commonly used as a decorative and flavoring ingredient in baking and desserts. These chips add a special touch to cookies, muffins, cakes, and ice cream, providing an attractive visual contrast and a sweet, creamy flavor.

The origin of green chips is related to the tradition of common chocolate chips, which in turn come from the American chocolate industry, where they became popular in the making of chocolate chip cookies. Green chips are usually dyed with food coloring and may have added flavors such as mint or lime, although they are also available in standard chocolate flavor with only a different color.

In terms of their properties, green chips primarily contribute flavor and texture to preparations, in addition to complementing the decoration. Nutritionally, they contain fats, sugars, and small amounts of protein typical of chocolate.

In different regions of Latin America, they may be known by similar or alternative names such as: green chocolate chips, green drops, green tips, or simply green-colored chips. However, the term "green chips" is widely understood to refer to this specific product within the context of baking.
