ARGH!!!! Don't give me brown icing, brown pudding, brown cake, brown Toll House chips, and
tell me it's chocolate when it isn't!
It doesn't taste anything remotely like chocolate. It's not even brown-colored sugar shit. It's just . . . . dark brown.
The defrocked warped primitive, she with the face like Hindenberg's, who's been banned from nursing for life. She also has the most curious habit of being "allergic" to food that's good for her, but not being allergic to food that's bad for her.

1. I feel exactly the same way
Nestle chips have become incredibly awful, fit only for cookies one is baking for an enemy's children or when you've gotten euchred into a bake sale and want to keep it cheap.
I do like Ghirardelli chocolate chips, they're good enough to eat out of hand.
And the good icing isn't brown, it's deep, dark, almost black brown. I cram as much cocoa as it will hold into it. Same thing with cake batters.

2. Nestle's chips are garbage now.
They just barely work in recipes, barely reminiscent of true chocolate flavor and gummy. What is it anyway? They beat all the competition out of the market then kamakazi-ed the product. I can't support them any more.

3. I've found better store brands.
Especially the Private Selection from Kroger and its subsidiaries. Made in Belgium, where they know their chocolate.
Stupid question time yet again.
What do Belgians know about chocolate that the Annamese or Angolans or Argentines don't know?

4. We don't have Kroger in this region.
We have access to good chocolate in this area but it's expensive. I bake for the homeless on occasion and the big bags of Nestle's Toll House made a LOT of cookies or frosted dozens of cupcakes. I make truffle frosting on a Cassata Siciliana last Easter with it though, and it was an embarrassment. The only thing that saved it is that I used a couple of Lindt bars with candied orange peel in it.

I believe you could have said that randomly, about almost any primitive, and still stand a chance at being correct.

That chance would be somewhere north of 100%, also.

Just another lame attempt to slam American companies, while at the same time showing how "refined" they are. :mental:
Tell us Dummies, how much extra do you pay for your elite brands.

The great thing about chocolate is that it is a completely discretionary purchase. If you don't like a brand of chocolate chips, you don't have to buy them. When I go to the grocery store there are multiple brands of chocolate chips, and I can choose to buy whichever one I prefer. Why waste energy complaining about a an item that doesn't need to be purchased?
