Matcha Chocolate Chips

Every time I go into a grocery store I immediately head over to the bakery aisle to see what’s new. Every time I’ll look at the chocolate chip section to see if there’s any interesting flavors that came out. Every time I’d spot something bright green and immediately get excited thinking that some company finally started to sell matcha chocolate chips. Every time I’d get disappointed because the green chocolate chips I’d see on the shelves were actually mint flavored chips and I hate mint 🙁

Since I constantly get let down that I can’t find matcha chocolate chips at my local grocery store I’ve decided to take it upon myself to just make my own! This recipe is super easy because it only requires 2 ingredients, matcha powder and white chocolate. The hard part is just having to pipe them all out, but the job passes by pretty quickly because you can just mindlessly pipe while watching some Netflix.

I don’t own a piping bag at home so I just used a ziplock bag to make these chips. The results weren’t bad (if I do say so myself) so I’d definitely recommend just using a plastic bag as an alternative if you don’t happen to have a piping bag anywhere nearby. Just remember to make the hole in the ziplock bag super tiny or you’ll end up with some giant chocolate chips.
