First off, I don't know what you mean by "properly".
Second off, I said I'm not willing to pay the high price
for the "gourmet" chips. To expand, the regular chips
(i.e. Nestle's) are expensive enough, and I don't care
for Ghiardelli chocolate at all so I'm pretty sure I
wouldn't even like their chips and besides they're too
expensive. No, I haven't compared, properly or otherwise,
any of the "gourment" chips because I'm not willing to
pay that high a price. Nestle's chip are fine for me
and are perfectly good for making chocolate chip cookies,
etc. Now, if I were making fondue, for example, I would
not use Nestle's choc. chips, I would get really good
chocolate (at least one that *I* consider good chocolate,
i. e. *not* Ghiardelli's). But for anything that calls
for choc. chips I'm going to use Nestle's. There's nothing
wrong with it.
