I don't think anyone here said that these are better than other similar chocolate chips (in fact one person who sells a different brand of chocolate chips was touting that his brand is significantly better). The hype here is about the price.

These are definitely better than the typical chocolate chips. These and California Gourmet are simply in a different league than the typical chips. I personally prefer the CG chips but I can see people preferring these.

TJ was a 10, CG is a 9, these are an 8, while the heimish brands are a 5.

The deal here is the amazing price for a solid product.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Also wondering what the cacao% is on that 5lb bag. Plus we'll have to bring Dan the TJ and the CG side-by-side for a re-taste -- especially the new mini-chips. So rich, real, and good! 72%-cocoa are on their way.

very busy with KFP demand on Amazon Prime. all KFP sold-out for Pesach -- GG in Cedarhurst and Ariel in LA just got the last few cases. should we ship after Pesach in case you're away/'kitniyos'? Or is M > Wed arrival fine for you?

BenZ's and The MarketPlace have been selling the minis. The mini-chips are $3.33 per bag on Amazon PRIME with Free 2-Day Shipping: http://bit.ly/SALEamazonPRIMEminichocolatechips

If you want 24 oz canisters of very new, fresh 72%-cocoa with OK-Pareve Hashgocha, we can ship direct to your house. 8 oz. bags will hit retail stores after 6-8 weeks film printing...

the 72%-cocoa is a different formula, 1 add'l ingredient. Very rich, very bittersweet and creamy taste. They are mini-chunks, size 2,000 ct.  Can you PM shipping zip code and we'll PM pricing?
Also, with same 3 ingredients as original KFP are new soy-free mini chips (51% cocoa) coming, too. Dan will like these; need to send after Pesach. Unless he's in CA. Maybe he'll taste before...

TJ was a 10, CG is a 9, these are an 8, while the heimish brands are a 5.
If anyone is wondering, both new CG varieties are very good!

The 51% are similar to the original ones, but improved. The 72% chunks (they are more like tiny bars, each the size of a large chocolate chip) taste like good high quality chocolate.

I don't have time before Pesach for a detailed test, but the first impression is really positive.

Amazon did not listen to my request to delay the delivery of my 1st 5lb bag.

Now it is scheduled to deliver today via USPS.

Any way I can have them hold it?

If not, what to do?

you can ask a rov, however it's not chometz -- it's kitnoyos and it's coming to your house -- the rov may say that it's fine to put it away until after Pesach.

As you would expect.

The 5lb bag is very good for the price, easily beating most heimishe brands, and without any shady ingredients.

CG 51% > Enjoy life, by quite a bit, but the price difference makes it a unfair test.

72% doesn't really have competition that I know of, but it is very good. (Like a bar)
