Last year, my BF's mother bought special Christmas chips. They tasted
just like chocolate chips, but had tons of food coloring added to make
them red and green, and they were shaped like stockings, santas,
wreaths, christmas trees, etc. They made cute cookies, but they tasted
just like regular old toll house, which doesn't say "CHRISTMAS" to me.
They were made by Nestle's. Don't know if they had them agani this
year, but for sure not at MY house!
