Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips for Milk Chocolate Candy

[Rudy S]

I asked my friend to pick up some mini semi-sweet chocolate chips -- the
little teeny tiny ones, but he got the big chocolate chips. Now I've got
two extra bags of chocolate chips that I don't want to use so I thought I
might try to melt them down to make some chocolate candy with a variety of
chopped nuts in it. But I don't like the taste of semi-sweet chocolate as
a candy. I want to melt it, sweeten it to make it more like milk
chocolate, mix in some chopped almonds, pecans and walnuts, then drop onto
waxed paper to cool.

Now how do I go about converting these rather bitter, semi-sweet chocolate
chips into something sweeter without ending up with a mess?

But not if it had been penetrated with a tiny little needle like you'd see
on the end of an insulin syringe. You could squirt a little cat piss into
a bag of chocolate chips and whoever buys them would not discover it until
they get them home. "Eww, what is this liquid!" Sure, you could exchange
those, but who wants to go through the inconvenience?

I thought it was a posting mistake. In any case he didn't announce

They're probably cheap chips too. If he gave the brand, I don't remember.

I guess picking up actual milk chocolate chips was too much for your

Probably because he didn't read the package carefully before putting them
into the shopping cart. He often does things like that. We like regular
sour cream, but occasionally he accidentally picks up the light sour cream
and even he gets upset at himself over that. Additionally, we use whole
milk. One time he accidentally picked up 2% because while Wal-Mart's
whole milk uses a red cap, HEB's whole milk uses a purple cap and their 2%
milk uses a red cap. He got the red-cap milk at HEB, so that's how he
accidentally purchased 2% milk. He likes to keep heavy whipping cream at
home for things like mashed potatoes. Occasionally he accidentally gets
the fat-free cream. When I tell him about it, he says, "Aw, I meant to
get the regular kind." He doesn't read the packaging carefully enough to
make sure he's getting what he really wants.

I wish alturl.com site offered a way for us to paste links like yours into
