Chocolate Chip Tasting The Splendid Table

A Chocolate Chip Tasting
with Al Sicherman and Lynne
October 3, 1998

With the holiday baking season just around the corner, Lynne and Al decided to check out the brands of chocolate chips commonly found in supermarkets to determine what’s worth buying and what’s not. Here’s what they sampled, along with their winners and one big loser!

Brand		Price
Nestle’s Semisweet Morsels		$2.00
Hershey’s Semisweet Morsels		$2.00
Ghirardelli Semisweet Morsels		$2.00
Generic Semisweet Morsels		$1.50

The winner was Ghirardelli, with Nestle’s as second best. The generic brand was the big loser. The bottom line: saving a little money is not worth it when it comes to chocolate chips!
