We made new "blue-soy-free" nut-free packaging in the summer:
http://bit.ly/AmazonPRIMEsoyFreeDDF

And, the new "red" packaging was made at the beginning of the "fall baking season".
It's a more airtight plastic, and less likely to rip apart in the boxes.
Is that what you are referring to?

Do you like the new "red bags"?
We also made a new "mini-chips" red bags with the new, dedicated UPC.
Taking suggestions from DDFers for a new color and/or design for the red-45%-cocoa mini-chips. Any color or style preferences to show that it's a different product than the "red regular" chips?
Do you guys sell mini bags? ( Not mini chips)

Not yet. Planning on making single-serve bags. We had 3 oz. Freebie bags at KosherFest 2 years ago.

We may make 2-3 oz bags of the new 72%-cocoa chunks. Which chocolate chips would you prefer, and what size mini-bags are you interested in? Would you buy a 10pk multi-pack of 2 oz bags?

Enjoy Life makes 1 oz. bags.   I think that's a pretty good size.

Yes, the 1 oz size is a great daily-snack size.

We have been hearing great taste reviews in recent weeks, especially the soy-free 48%-cocoa (Kosher for Pesach), and the mini-chips.
Please let us know which stores have sold out, as we are in the process of re-stocking the chains such as Gourmet Glatt, Seasons, etc... Thank you.

Maybe if you paid then you can be the exclusive Chocolate Chip of DDF and no other chip can be posted like Mint Coins....

sounds good. I think that California Gourmet is still Dan's favorite dairy-free chocolate chip. And, now there are 4 types to pick a favorite type:
 (plus the 72%-cocoa chunks, too.)

These are in Cleveland, Pittsburgh, and Silver Spring so far. Nut-free, dairy-free, etc....
Coming to Crown Heights/Brooklyn. Once the packaging is complete, 300 stores will have these.

I have seen plain mint-flavored chips. However, not with chocolate.

Gourmet Glatt, Seasons, Evergreen, Shloimy's, etc... KosherWest used to carry these. Perhaps more; I can call and ask. NPGS sometimes has these on special -- based on timing and batch deliveries by distributors.

many friends have been buying these for good prices in Evergreen and Gourmet Glatt in Lakewood. Under $3.09 - $3.50/bag, I believe.
