Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
Yesterday I mentioned some really unusual chocolate chip flavors from Vosges, but I neglected to mention that they are not the only ones making a foray into unusually flavored chips. Nestle has previously released several types of swirled chocolate chips, their Tollhouse Morsels, including white chocolate, caramel and peanut butter swirled with the classic semisweet chocolate. They have two new flavors out now: chocolate mint and chocolate raspberry.
Of the two, the chocolate mint is the better option. The green color isn't the most appealing thing to find in a cookie, but the mint flavor is great in a chocolate cookie and mint chips aren't something you see to often.
Raspberry chips aren't something you see too often either - and for good reason. They taste like stale chocolate with cherry flavoring, though they smell heavily of artificial raspberry. It's possible that the flavor will blend in better once the chips are baked into a cookie, but I am finding it difficult to bring myself to use the raspberry chips.
There is also a red-and-green swirled white chocolate holiday chip that Nestle has put out for the holiday season. The colors, again, look a bit odd in a cookie, but the overall effect is quite festive and as long as you like white chocolate chips, you'll like them.

Actually - the raspberry swirled chips are QUITE good in these fudgy chocolate cookies I make - kept the cookie from being so overwhelmingly chocolate and added some interest. I agree the morsels themselves look kind of wierd, but melted in a cookie (and maybe fudge) they are great if you like the chocolate/raspberry combination.

Yum.
