The Return of Nestle Mint Morsels – Well, Almost
November 25, 2009
That’s why Nestle let us know that — just in time for holiday baking and through December — they would offer Dark Chocolate & Mint Morsels (10-ounce bag $2.99).
We asked for samples, looking forward to making our beloved brownies again.
Sadly, I report that these are not the same Toll House Mint-Chocolate Morsels. Instead they contain half the delicious mint chocolate chips and the other half a “mint chocolate confection” Those are light green morsels shaped like a chocolate chip, but instead are a blend of sugar, palm kernel oil, hydrogenated palm oil, oil of peppermint, soy lecithin, vanilla extract and Yellow 5 Lake and Blue 1 Lake artificial coloring.
You can bet I’m not ruining my brownies with the addition of these morsels, that is unless I can find someone to hand pick out the chocolate ones from the bag.

Bummer!! I am a true chocolate & mint fan. Well, thanks for the heads up, I was planning on picking some up since I saw they were back, but now I know better! What a shame, they used to be REALLY good!
Come on Nestle….bring back the original….why mess with a successful product by bringing back an inferior one? The ORIGINAL mint chips are requested….why not bring them back as before?
I will not be buying the new ones…thank you to all for giving me the heads-up. If I bought them and ruined by mint brownies (back of the Nestle bag) I would be very unhappy.
A disappointed consumer,

I have a wonderful cookie recipe for Nestle’s Mint Chocolate Chips and was really looking forward to some this holiday. I also saw this year the green mint and chocolate morsels. Absolutely will not work. Nestle, bring back Mint Chocolate Chips please.
Sure wish your Nestle Dark Chocolate Mint Morsels were sold the year round. I was fortunate enough to buy a bag before Christmas and had the best chocolate chip cookie I have ever eaten, bar none. I just found two more packages at the grocery store, but that was all they had.
I totally agree with you. I didn’t care for their dyed green mint chips either, and called them. They said there was no demand for the solid mint version,
I am emailing all my friends to call/write to Nestle. I will enclose your website. Maybe, together, we can pressurw them to give us those wonderful chips back!

truly disappointed to find the replacement of the good quality dark chocolate & mint morsels switched to some poor cheap food coloring, low quality can’t fool me again morsels…Nestle, when you’ve got something good, don’t change it. I love chocolate, and I love mint. I appreciate quality…..but not these replacements.
Bla bla bla! I never had the original mint morsels but I’ll tell you what. I made 6 batches of these delicious cookies over the holidays and people were screaming for more. I wish Nestle would keep making them because my family has not stopped asking for them since.
Bla bla bla? Why so rude?
Because I think you were all bashing this product when in reality they are just morsels made for baking in cookies. They really are wonderful.
Well, if you read through the comments, you will note that they describe making both cookies and brownies with them. Besides, you can make your point without being rude. In fact, you just did it in your response to me. I am not arguing your opinion, I just would hate to see things here degrade into constant nasty fighting, which happens so often on the web anymore.
if you interpreted my comments as rude, then I apologize, I meant them as humorous. To prevent any further degrading of your comment page, rest assured I will never post another message.
