Frequently asked questions
What are cocoa drops?
Cocoa drops are small drops of real chocolate made for melting, baking and snacking. Ours are crafted from 54% single origin Costa Rican cocoa, combining cocoa nibs, cocoa butter and cane sugar into a silky drop with subtle notes of dried fruit and vanilla.
Are cocoa drops the same as chocolate chips?
They are similar but better quality. Regular chocolate chips are made to hold their shape and often contain stabilisers, while our cocoa drops are real couverture style chocolate with a high cocoa butter content, so they melt smoother and taste richer in cookies, cakes and sauces.
Do cocoa drops melt well?
Yes, melting is exactly what they are made for. The 20.3% cocoa butter content gives them a super smooth, even melt, ideal for ganache, sauces, drizzles and hot chocolate. Melt them gently over a water bath or in short microwave bursts for the best result.
What does 54% cocoa mean?
It means 54% of the drop is pure cocoa, placing it between milk and dark chocolate. This balance gives a rounded, semi sweet flavour: enough cocoa depth for rich desserts, but smooth and sweet enough for snacking straight from the pouch.
Are cocoa drops vegan and dairy free?
Yes. Our Cocoa Drops contain only cocoa nibs, cane sugar, cocoa butter and a touch of sunflower lecithin, with no dairy, no gluten and no additives. They are fully vegan and halal, with all the creaminess coming from natural cocoa butter.
What is the best way to use cocoa drops in baking?
Fold them into brownie, cookie or cake batter for melty chocolate pockets, or melt them down for ganache, frosting and sauces. They also make an excellent quick hot chocolate: stir a small handful into warm milk until smooth.
Do cocoa drops taste sweet or bitter?
They lean gently sweet. The 54% cocoa content delivers smooth chocolate depth without the bitterness of dark chocolate, finished with soft dried fruit and vanilla notes. If you prefer a more intense flavour, our Dark Cocoa Drops are the stronger option.
