I am flicking through an Australian Woman's Weekly baby & toddler cookbook and there are some yummy looking cookes. One of the ingredients is for 110g of dark chocolate Melts. Are these just chocolate chips, or is it some sort of branded confectionary?
Sorry if this sounds dim!

Just turned the page and there is another one for dark Choc Bits???? Again, any ideas?

I think it (Chocolate bits} just means dark chocolate/milk chocolate, and chocolate melts as you thought chocolate chips...

Thanks SueW. It says that chocolate melts are a type of compound chocolate. Its the fact that they have given "Melts" and "Bits" an initial capital that made me suspect it was a brand of chocolate.

I think I can help on this one, albeit a little late in the piece. Yes Chocolate Melts and Choc Bits are brand names to an extent but there is a difference. Choc Melts are definately the compoud cooking chocolate, like Supercook bars but in button shaped bits so they melt more quickly. Choc Bits are much smaller and are proper chocolate I think. They are a similar size to a mini M&M but don't have the candy shell. You would put them in a choc chip muffin or something where you want the choc to stay in bit, whereas the Choc Melts would be for melting (obviously ) or mixing through something.
Another word of warning if you're using an Aussie cookbook. In Case you hadn't noticed, watch out for the tablespoon measure! Ours are 20 mls, whereas yours are 15mls!
Happy cooking.
