I guess reading comprehension is too much for your feeble brain to handle.
As I said in the original post, I asked my friend who was picking up some
groceries to bring home some mini semi-sweet chocolate chips, but he got
the big ones, not the mini ones. I don't like the big chocolate chips in
my cookies, so I don't want to use them for anything. I thought I might
try to convert them into some kind of candy, but I don't like "semi-sweet"
chocolate candy, either. But I do like mini semi-sweet chocolate chips in
cookies.

Why don't *YOU* grow a brain before you criticze mine.

I think he was refering to my suggestion of adding powdered milk and
sugar to the chocolate to turn it into milk chocolate. So far I
haven't found anything on the internet that says whether it can or
can't be done. I guess no one has ever tried. The problem I see is
getting the sugar and powdered milk to dissolve in the chocolate. If
they're ground up into a fine powder they might mix in more easily.
Also in order to get the sugar and milk to dissolve you might have to
get the chocolate hot enough to the point where it loses temper and
you have to re-temper it.

He asked me what he needed to get because he likes the cookies the way I
bake them when I have baked them for us. He wanted my cookies as I have
baked them in the past, but his acquisition of large chocolate chips
resulted in cookies that were not exactly like the ones I bake for us.
Nevertheless, he was not bothered by that, and neither am I. The point is
that neither of us want large chocolate chips in our cookies, nor are we
in the mood for cookies right now. That is why I posted the original
message which simply asked about how I should try to use these semi-sweet
chocolate chips to make a sweeter chocolate candy that would be more like
milk chocolate.


No, he isn't fine with them. He likes chocolate even less than I do. He
does not want large chocolate chips in his cookies, either. When I make
chocolate pie, he likes so little chocolate that it looks more like a
mocha pie -- something that is light brown, not dark brown. I like the
regular, dark brown chocolate pie.


Our relationship will be better if I don't bake cookies with large
chocolate chips. And again, we're tired of cookies. I'm going to use the
chocolate chips to make something else. This thread was not about mini
chips versus regular chips. It was about what to do with semi-sweet
chocolate chips when I don't want to use them to bake cookies.


The month is irrelevant to the point of the thread.


Let what go?

My dentist agrees -- gold crowns are much stronger. I have had four
crowns total, one of which failed after 20 years (it was a cracked tooth
to begin with, so the lifetime is actually pretty remarkable). That
tooth had to be pulled, and I just had the implant abutment put in
place yesterday. (A bit of a harrowing experience but I got through it.)


According to my dentist, anything other than a metal crown is weaker,
because the artificial material is layered on top of metal, and
so for a given size reconstructed tooth the metal layer is thinner
with the artificial material and therefore weaker. It's better to make
the whole crown out of one piece of metal. It's always stronger,
according to this dentist.

That's because you have the same reading comprehension problem as the
person you're replying to.


So what? It's a matter of taste. I don't like big chocolate chips in
cookies. I like tiny chocolate chips and a lot less of them than what
most recipes call for. If you like 70% cookie, 30% chocolate chips, YOU
eat the big chocolate chips. I don't like my cookies that way and I have
every right to have a preference for how I like my cookies, and a right to
bake them the way I like them.


The size is the only difference I care about. I don't like big chocolate
chips in my cookies. Is that too hard for you to understand?


I never said that. My post was asking what method I should use to convert
them into milk chocolate chips. This is a cooking newsgroup, if you
haven't noticed.


He wasn't going "for me" to begin with. He was going for himself because
he asked me to bake 800 cookies for a Christmas party. Mini semi-sweet
chocolate chips go in the cookies, and I had them on a computer-generated,
printed list, but he got the wrong ones. We had a couple of extra bags of
semi-sweet LARGE chocolate chips left over and I don't want them in
cookies I'm going to be eating. I used the large ones in the cookies for
his Christmas party. While I would have liked the small chocolate chips
in the ones I sent to the party, since I wasn't eating them, I didn't make
a big deal about it. They were a hit anyway, and the women were slipping
them in their purses to take them home.


And I suggest to you that you take a class on critical thinking. Your
post was full of so many hidden assumptions that from my view, you should
be pretty embarrassed with yourself. Unfortunately, like a jungle ape,
you don't have the mental faculties to be self-conscious enough to realize
what an idiot you look like, so I'll leave you now and you can go look
like a jungle ape somewhere else.
