VIDEO
I calculated the nutrition on the basis of 10 portions. 1 portion = one tablespoon of chocolate chips = weight: around 7 grams each.
Be sure to use a low heat and turn the stove off as soon as all ingredients are combined. If your heat is too high, the chocolate can seize and become lumpy.
Update June 2020: I now recommend altering the recipe a little if you want to use your chocolate chips in baking.
The reason is that the 3 ingredient chocolate chips with cacao butter become very liquid in the oven.
However, if you add a forth ingredient – cacao paste, sometimes also called cocoa mass  – they become as stable as the chocolate chips you can buy in the shops.
Use these quantities:
0.9 oz / 25g cacao butter
0.9 0z / 25g cacao paste
2 tbsp powdered sweetener
1 1/2 tbsp cocoa powder
You can use any silicone trivet to make sugar free chocolate chips. If you want the classic chocolate chip shape, you can also buy this silicone mould (Amazon US only).
If you don’t have any mould but sill WANT chocolate chips, simply pour the melted chocolate onto parchment paper and let it set. Then break into small pieces.
