Thanks for the fast replies, folks! I'll keep watching the thread.
I did find an online outfit that sells Guittard Mini Chips (not
in 25# increments, thank Goodness), and I'll try the Ghiradelli
and Hershey's if I can find them locally. I've got some friends
coming over on the 21st -- we'll have to have a chocolate chip
taste test. Fortunately, I'm not in a hurry to make the brownies
for the neighbors; they're a "thanks for the grapes last summer"
thing. Nice folks, we're lucky to have them next door.

Anyway, thanks again... :-)
