Please be assured your comments will be reported to our Marketing group. To create your own mint morsels using the Nestlé Toll House Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels use the following recipe: Place 2 cups (12-ounce package) Nestlé Toll House Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels in medium, heavy-duty plastic bag or airtight container. Add 1/4 teaspoon pure peppermint extract; seal bag or cover container. Shake to coat. Store for 24 hours to allow sufficient time for the morsels to absorb the mint extract. The mint flavored morsels can be added directly to your recipe or melted according to morsel package directions. If you don't have 24 hours to wait, we recommend adding ½ teaspoon pure peppermint extract and following the steps above; however instead of waiting 24 hours you can use the morsels immediately in your favorite recipe. If you don't have 24 hours to wait and would like to melt the mint morsels please try the following: Melt Nestlé Toll House Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels according to package directions. For 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate morsels, stir in 1/4 teaspoon pure peppermint extract; for 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate morsels, stir in 1/2 teaspoon pure peppermint extract. i wrote nestle re: the mint chips. this was their response (including a “workaround”):

I have several awesome recipes that don't taste the same with regular chips. My adult children continue to request these goodies and I feel bad I can't comply. I am sad to read Barbara's comment above. I'll be writing Nestles to make the request official. How about the rest of you? Spread the word. One never knows.... maybe it will help. Even if they just brought them back at holiday times...I know I'd stock-up and it sounds like many of you would too.

Corporate bowing to stockholders not-enough-profit mentality took the original dye-free mints off the shelves, and will probably never be seen again. You can’t.

Since they are obviously so popular, why did they discontinue them? I think they would be great any time of year - not just for Christmas! To Bonnie of Bite of the Best:
