Chipping away at Chocolate Chunk

I've long since thought Chocolate Chunk granola bars aren't anything to write home about. Tonight I made some break-and-bake Chocolate Chunk cookies and realized this reality is not unique to granola bars. Chocolate Chip cookies, granola bars, etc. are far superior to the Chocolate Chunk variety. And let me tell you why.

While the actual pieces of chocolate may be bigger in Chocolate Chunk goodies, there are fewer total pieces. Yet in Chocolate Chip treats the pieces may be smaller but there are a larger number of them to be dispersed throughout the item. When I eat a Chocolate Chip cookie, I get what I want - chocolate in every bite. You're not as likely to be afforded that luxury with Chocolate Chunk.

So, to spare you the chocolate-less bites: chunk the Chocolate Chunk.
