Chocolate Chips - Different Varieities

I love chocolate chip cookies, as does everyone in my family. I have a favorite recipe that I use that I am going to post below. However, every once in a while I like to change things up & use chips other than the semi-sweet variety.

Here are a list of verified gluten-free chips from Nestle:

• milk chocolate chips
• semi sweet morsels
• chocolate chunks
• semi sweet mini morsels
• milk chocolate morsels
• premier white morsels
• peanut butter & milk morsels
• milk chocolate & peanut butter swirled morsels
• semi sweet & premier white swirled morsels

***The Nestle butterscotch chips are not gluten-free.

If you are looking for a butterscotch chip, Hershey’s are gluten-free, as are these others:

• Special Dark
• cinnamon
• semi sweet
• milk chocolate

Enjoy Life makes a gluten-free, dairy-free, peanut-free, tree-nut free, soy free, egg free and casein-free chocolate chip.
