I actually had a nickname as a kid that was a pun off the dessert name. Anyway I remember also thinking but AND Tofutti were so yummy but I think we have better pareve ice cream today. Trader Joe’s pareve ice cream is amazing

Yes TJ’s is the best!

I also love Lieber's brand.

I live OOT and don't have Wegman's or Oppenheimers

For melting and dipping, Nestle's Simply Delicious is a great chocolate chip: https://www.target.com/p/nestl.....3p.ds

But Wegman's is is a very good chocolate chip for baking.

Odd. Didn't know Nestles was pareve.

Only the simply line that is allergy free. They also have pareve white chocolate chips!
You can get it in your local Walmart according to my sources 😉

I usually buy ShopRite brand, they are parve, nut-free, generally inexpensive, and the flavor is good.
Though I have had others with richer flavor, they're just harder to find for me.

do they remain distinct in a cookie after baking egam and HY? once I found natural dairy-free white chips in a health food store but they kind of became clear and melted into the cookie. so they were kind of a let-down.

It’s just cocoa butter, sugar, and tapioca starch. Maybe one other starch.

Yup. They have a bit of a starchy texture, but no one else seems to notice it when I use them!

Paskesz is the best. Ive tried most brands. Wegmans, liebers, doesn't compare. I think I've had oppenheimers also. And real chopped chocolate is the very best.

I think people have different tastes because so many people wrote Wegmans and brands that I think do not taste good. So it depends on your taste buds.
