What chocolate chips are vegan?

Asked: What chocolate chips are vegan?

I want to make chocolate chip cookies but I don’t know which chocolate chips to buy.

Please help!

Answers:

concerned Answered:
no they mostly contain dairy

Raelyn Answered:
Enjoy Life brand chocolate chips are dairy-free and soy-free.You can find them in the health food section of almost any supermarket. If for some reason yours doesn’t carry them, you can substitute with a bar of Lindt’s dark chocolate, also dairy-free. Wal-mart and Target carry Lindt’s as do many supermarkets.

Ghiradelli has some dark chocolate ones. they come in a gold package.

can i put hot chocolate mix in sugar cookies?

Gods child Asked: can i put hot chocolate mix in sugar cookies?

Can i put Hot chocolate mix in sugar cookies to make chocolate sugar cookies?

Here’s the recipe i would be using:

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup [one stick] unsalted butter softened
3/4 cup of sugar
1 egg
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Answers:

Nana Lamb Answered:
If you want to, go ahead!! I would use about 1 cup cocoa mix or 1/4 cup Hershey Cocoa powder either regular or the Dark Chocolate. Or you can melt bitter baking chocolate, chocolate chips, bakers semi sweet chocolate, or Hershey bars and stir it in.

Linda Answered:
You could, but the chocolate flavor wouldn’t be very strong. And hot chocolate mix has sugar and powdered milk in it too. If you really want to, use 1/4 cup of the mix and reduce the sugar to 1/2 cup.

Peel bananas, cut each into thirds, insert wooden stick into each banana piece, and place on wax paper covered tray cover; cover. Freeze until firm (THEY MUST BE FROZEN). In top of double boiler over hot (not boiling water), melt chocolate chips and shortening. Remove bananas from freezer just before dipping.

1 (1.5 ounce) bar milk chocolate candy

Chocolate banana boats

6 large bananas, unpeeled, stems removed
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1 (10.5 ounce) package miniature marshmallows

Directions
1. Preheat the grill for high heat.
2. Spray 4 sheets of aluminum foil, large enough to wrap bananas, with cooking spray.
3. Slice the peel of the banana from stem to bottom, while slicing the banana inside lengthwise. The bananas can be cut into slices instead if you like, (while still in the peel) for easier handling later.
4. Carefully open the banana just wide enough to place the chocolate chips and marshmallows inside the peel with the banana. Stuff with as much of the chocolate chips and marshmallows as desired.
5. Wrap the bananas with the aluminum foil and place on the grill or directly in the coals of a fire. Leave in long enough to melt the chips and the marshmallows, about 5 minutes. Unwrap bananas, open the peels wide, and eat with a spoon.
