It used to be easy to put mini chocolate chips on warm
cookie dough and they would melt and I could spread them
after a few extra minutes in oven.
Now a gloppy mess. What happened? Any advice?
I use them on top of toffee square bars.
Another chocolate to try?
Thanks all!

Maybe add a bit of cream to them and make a ganache?

What kind do you use now? I like those Ghirardelli melting chips.

I find that Nestles chips don't melt as nicely as they used to, especially the butterscotch chips.
I now use either Ghiradhelli or Guittard chips--much better.

There are chips on the market that are not real chocolate and don't melt like chocolate. A picture of the package would have been helpful.

@wonderfulworld I am very good about notifying the company when I have an issue...you should be able to find an email address on their website or contact them via facebook.
I have a facebook account...I use it only to sell on Marketplace and to contact vendors that I need to communicate with....I have found that facebook gets a reply much quicker - I use Messanger to ask the question.

Ghirardelli makes my favorite chocolate.

I love those toffee squares! I haven't made them in a few years, but I have been seeing them on Pinterest, which has me wanting to make them.
It's been a while, but I remember when I made them that I just put the chocolote chips on the toffee squares as soon as they came out of the oven. I let them sit for a few minutes and could easily spread the chocolate.
Here is what I think happened: you can sometimes take chocolate too far. Have you ever microwaved chocolate a little too long and it seizes up? I have (that's why they tell us to do 30 second intervals)! Basically the chocolate gets cooked.

Agreed! I only use Ghirardelli chocolate chips. They cost a bit more, but the chocolate flavor is superior.
