Lily’s Sweets
Lily’s 55% dark chocolate chips are vegan, gluten-free, and contain no added sugars. They’re sweetened with non-GMO stevia and erythritol, making them perfect if you’re trying to avoid a sugar rush. Be sure to grab the 55% dark chocolate, as this is the only one that’s dairy-free. Check out our brownie recipe to use up any leftover chocolate chips.
Enjoy Life
Enjoy Life makes products that are free of the top eight allergens and their chocolate chips do not disappoint! All three varieties—the Semi-Sweet Mini Chips, Semi-Sweet Mega Chunks, and Dark Chocolate Morsels—use three simple ingredients: cane sugar, unsweetened chocolate and cocoa butter. These tasty chips are perfect for throwing into vegan cookie dough or eating straight out of the bag.
Pascha Organic
We love a good white chocolate macadamia nut cookie and Pasha Organics makes a White Vegan Chocolate Chip that is nut-free, gluten-free, soy-free and of course dairy-free. The 55% Cacao Semi-Sweet, 85% Cacao Bitter-Sweet, and Vegan White Chocolate Chips use organic cane sugar as a sweetener. Looking for a no added sugar option? The 100% Cacao Unsweetened and 70% Zero Sugar (organic stevia) chocolate chips are perfect for those looking to cut down on sugar.
Equal Exchange
Equal Exchange makes organic chocolate chips that are vegan and soy-free. The Organic 55% Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips and Organic 70% Bitter-Sweet Chocolate Chips use fair trade raw cane sugar and cocoa powder or chocolate liquor sourced from Paraguay and Peru. Melt down these chocolate chips for a vegan peanut butter cup or sprinkle into your pancake batter for Sunday brunch.
Artisan Kettle
Artisan Kettle Organic Chocolate’s Semisweet Chocolate Chips, Bittersweet Chocolate Chips, Extra Dark Chocolate Chunks, Semisweet MINI Chocolate Chips, and No Sugar Added Dark Chocolate Chips are all free of the top eight allergens. Their chocolate ranges from 44%-72% cocoa, so choose depending on your taste. Did you know the percentage of the chocolate is the ratio of cocoa butter, cocoa powder, and/or cocoa liquor (in weight) to sugar?
