Yummmm a favorite of mine.... I bought a lot of those chips - they were trying so hard to get rid of them last year, but they are back - I have put them in when making brownies for a nice surprise. Though I haven't tried the razzberry flavored chips yet. Thanks for great posting... I will definitely save and try these for my February party.
