Semi-sweet chocolate does not contain any milk ingredients. It is made up of dark chocolate and sugar. Therefore, semi-sweet chocolate chips cannot be milk chocolate.
Of course, while semi-sweet is the closest thing to a standard type of chocolate chip, grocery stores typically also carry milk chocolate chips, along with many other types of flavoured chocolate chips. If you prefer milk to dark chocolate, you can typically substitute one type for another in cookies, muffins or granola bars where the chips are not melted before use. If the recipe calls for melting the chips, there may be unexpected results – beyond the flavour difference – when using a different type of chip when semi-sweet is called for.
