The exchanging sounds like a good idea if it works. I was thinking that
he might very well NOT have the store receipt because the other guy
bought and paid - Damaeus is just the poor ******* who said he'd bake
800 cookies for a friend. I would not expect the grocery store to take
back the chips without a receipt or something to identify that they came
from that store.

I use a combination of milk chocolate chips and semi-sweet when I make
my fudge. And I usually prefer a milk chocolate candy bar unless it's a
Midnight Milky Way.
