Anyone who knows what matters when baking doesn't reach for ordinary chocolate — they reach for baking-stable chocolate chips. These RUF chocolate chips, made from real dark chocolate with at least 50% cocoa content, are generously cut, thick-walled and firm to the bite, so they hold their shape during baking and remain visible as recognisable pieces of chocolate in the finished bake, rather than melting away completely. Made from cocoa mass, cocoa butter and lecithin, they bring a robust, slightly bitter chocolate profile to any bake — one that doesn't get lost in the oven but stays present in every mouthful. Simply fold them into the dough, use them in cookies, muffins, brownies or chocolate rolls, and pop them in the oven. While other chocolate disappears into the dough, these chocolate chips deliver consistent chocolate highlights with an intense, full-bodied flavour in every bite — exactly how chocolate should taste.

Baking-stable Dark Chocolate Chunks, 100 g
Chocolate chunks that make the difference
There's a reason why the best cookies, brownies and muffins aren't baked with ordinary chocolate pieces — but with these baking-stable chocolate chunks from RUF. They're larger, thicker-walled and firmer to the bite than conventional chips, and that's exactly what makes the difference when baking: they don't melt completely into the dough, but hold their shape and, when you bite in, release an intense, bold dark chocolate flavour that runs through the entire mouthful and lingers long afterwards. The RUF Chocolate Chunks dark chocolate are made from real dark chocolate with at least 50% cocoa — crafted from cocoa mass, cocoa butter and the emulsifier lecithin, without unnecessary additives. The result is a robust, slightly bitter chocolate profile that doesn't get lost during baking, but remains clearly visible and distinctly present in the finished bake.
Baking-stable — what it means and why it matters
Not every chocolate is suited to baking, and the difference only shows itself in the oven. Ordinary chocolate or conventional chips melt completely at baking temperatures and disappear into the dough — which delivers chocolate flavour, but leaves no visible pieces and no bite. These baking-stable chocolate chunks are specially developed for use in the oven and remain firm and intact even after extended baking. That means: when you slice into a bake they're clearly recognisable as distinct chocolate pieces, and when you eat them they deliver the characteristic bite that makes cookies, muffins and brownies exactly what they're supposed to be. This difference is immediately noticeable from the very first bite — and turns a good bake into a truly impressive one.
What are the baking-stable chocolate chunks good for?
The possibilities are as varied as the bakery itself. In chocolate chip cookies, the baking-stable chocolate chunks are the star of the show: simply fold them into the dough just before baking, and every bite hits a bold piece of dark chocolate that slowly unfolds in your mouth. In muffins and cupcakes they create surprising chocolate moments inside and on the surface. In brownies they add extra texture to the already chocolatey dough and an even more intense chocolate hit with every bite. In plaited loaves, Brioche and butter cakes they're worked in just before baking, setting appetising chocolate islands in each slice. In pancakes and waffles they deliver a special chocolate moment — simply stir them into the batter or scatter them over the still-liquid surface. And if you want to use the baking-stable chocolate chunks not only in the dough but also as decoration, scatter them over muffins or cookies before baking — they caramelise slightly on the surface and create a glossy, inviting finish.
How to use the baking-stable chocolate chunks correctly
Mix the baking-stable chocolate chunks into the finished dough just before baking, or scatter them directly over the surface. To distribute them evenly throughout the dough, it's best to fold them in at the very end — stirring for too long can break up the chunks and affect the result. For muffins and cupcakes, place a few chocolate chunks on top of the unbaked batter in the tin so they stay visible and prominent during baking. If you want particularly clean chocolate pieces in the slice, chill the chunks briefly in the fridge before working them in — this way they melt more slowly during baking and hold their shape even better.
Storage
The baking-stable chocolate chunks should always be stored dry, well sealed and at room temperature, as they are sensitive to heat, moisture and strong external odours. Even temperatures above 20 °C can cause fat bloom — a grey coating on the chocolate surface that is perfectly harmless in terms of taste but can affect the appearance and texture of the chunks. Similarly, strong aromas such as coffee, spices or other strongly scented foods nearby should be avoided, as chocolate absorbs external odours quickly and this can noticeably affect the delicate cocoa flavour. After opening, seal the packaging carefully and store the chocolate chunks separately from strongly aromatic products — this keeps the flavour, texture and quality in top condition right up to the last moment of baking.
Small but mighty!
These baking-stable dark chocolate chunks are more than a baking ingredient — they're the detail that turns a good cookie into an unforgettable one, a simple muffin into a real chocolate experience, and a brownie into a bake you won't forget. Bold, baking-stable and made from real dark chocolate with at least 50% cocoa, they bring a chocolate flavour to every bake that doesn't hide away, but is immediately noticeable from the very first bite and lingers long afterwards. The difference from ordinary chips shows itself not only in the slice, but in every single bite — and once you've experienced that difference, you'll know: this is exactly how chocolate in a bake should taste!
