This blind taste test proved that sometimes go-to brands are our go-to’s for a reason. Such is the case with iconic Nestle Toll House Chocolate Chips.
Before our team even tasted these chips, many testers were oohing and aahing. Josh Rink in the Test Kitchen had this to say: “This chip is the prettiest to look at: nicely shaped, dark color and absolutely no flaws.”
You know that these Nestle chips are so much more than picture-perfect morsels, though. These chips have a deep, rich chocolate flavor with hints of creaminess that push this chip to the slightly more milk chocolate end of the semisweet spectrum. There are no off-tastes or artificial notes here—just smooth, delicious chocolate.
As for the texture, these chips have a nice bite when munched on right out of the package (we’ve all done that) but they melt easily and have an incredibly smooth texture. These are the sorts of chips that would be welcome in any semisweet chocolate recipe but would be particularly welcome in this one-bowl chocolate chip bread recipe (it has five stars!).
