Review: Kirkland Signature Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips

Chocolate chips are an essential ingredient in many beloved baked treats. The quest to find a brand that marries quality with exceptional flavor can sometimes be challenging. If you’re on the hunt for the ideal chocolate chips to elevate your desserts, allow me to share a recent find.

I discovered Kirkland Signature Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips during a visit to Costco which is conveniently located just under an hour’s drive from my home. While I can’t recall the precise cost at this moment, I remember it being quite reasonable. Notably, these chips are more substantial in size compared to those commonly found in supermarkets.

I’ve incorporated these chocolate morsels into a number of desserts I’ve made many times since I got them. So here are my unbiased points.

PROS

  1. The packaging is both functional and user-friendly.
  2. The flavor strikes the perfect balance, embodying the essence of semi-sweet.

  2. Exclusively available at Costco. While online purchase is possible, the price can be considerably higher.

Here’s a snapshot of my coconut cupcakes adorned with these very chocolate chips. I crafted these just a week ago and they surpassed my expectations. The sweetness was pitch-perfect. The chocolate chips felt like a delightful bonus atop an already indulgent treat.

I highly recommend this brand. Truly a value for money.

  1. My favorite chocolate chip is whatever kind is right in front me. Some aren’t as good as others, and some are way down on the “not as good as others” scale… But I’ve never really had a bad one. Also, my cooking is pretty much all working with bar chocolate. My wife is the baker and I rarely deal directly with chips, just the finished product.

    And how can you post a picture of coconut cupcakes and _not_ share the recipe!

    1. Fair enough. Some chips I’ve tried were a bit waxy.
      Oopsie daisy! I’ve recently restructured my blog. I won’t post recipes anymore. My blog will now only cover product reviews, travel related stuff, and a little personal stuff as well. šŸ˜€
