Chocolate Chunks for baking

You can buy dairy free, soy free chocolate chips, but they cost an arm and a leg. Sometimes, making your own is easier. These chocolate bars are quick, easy, and cut into chunks, make excellent chocolate bits in chocolate chunk cookies. Once baked, I couldn't tell the difference from the commercial chocolate bits.
