To you, nothing. To him, he did not get what he requested and what he
expected. Somewhere in the thread he said he does not like the bigger
chocolate chips in his cookies. Just his preference. Seems as
reasonable as most of the stuff posted here.

He is not. He wants to make the taste sweeter, "more like milk
chocolate," and make a drop candy that will use his too-big semi-sweet
chocolate chips. Personally, I don't think all the sugar in the bowl
will make the semi-sweet taste like milk chocolate ‹ there's more to it
than that. But his question was for some help from the

It doesn't look like he expects his friend to do anything; he was hoping
for some help here. My guess is that he will get for himself the
chocolate chips he expected. His request here was for suggestions to
use what he was provided with so as to not waste them. Didn't you just
say something about "waste not, want not" in your stovetop cooking
thread? It sounds like he's trying to use them rather than throw them
away. Kind of like you.
