We use either Smart Balance Light
(http://www.smartbalance.com/lactose_concerns.html) or Fleischmann's
unsalted (http://www.fleischmanns.com/products/light.jsp), being
careful to choose only the varieties that are labeled "pareve."
If you hunt around, you'll find non-milk-chocolate chocolate chips.
They, too, should be labeled "pareve," for additional confidence that
they are dairy-free.
There are some caveats here, but for the most part things labeled
pareve are have no dairy ingredients and are prepared on equipment
that either hasn't been used for dairy foods, or has been purged of
the dairy, following the religious rules of Kashrut (.ie., they're
kosher, milk-free, and meat-free).
For a good treat, see the following, which I posted a long time ago
on the list:
