And, really, what's wrong with starting with dessert, first?
A Vegan Chocolate Chip Tasting (all brands are semi-sweet):
Three Store Brands: Whole Foods 365, Wegmans and Trader Joe's.
Two National Brands: Ghirardelli and Enjoy Life (Mega Chunks!).
So, what did we think?
Here's my very first Vegan Fazool Video, starring my highly discerning son :-) and ever thorough husband...
What will they like??
And here is the feedback from the tasters in my class, who, for the most part, agreed with my family.
#1. Whole Foods 365: (Zero!) favorite votes, and no one liked it.
(Sorry, WF! Chin up!)
#2. Wegmans: (1) fave vote from class, everyone agreed they really liked it, and it was my personal favorite=(2) fave votes. A great overall chip.
#3. Ghirardelli: (2) fave votes from class, tied for 1st for my hubs=(2.5) fave votes. Creamy, a bit bittersweet and with a rich, vanilla taste. YUM.
#4. Enjoy Life Mega Chunks: (1) fave vote from class, but mixed reviews overall.
#5. Trader Joe's: (3) fave votes from class, positive reviews overall.
Remember, this was an uncooked, straight-from-the-bag chocolate chip tasting.
It would be interesting to see how all the chips might fare when baked into cookies, now wouldn't it?
What's your favorite vegan chocolate chip?
This is a great post! I love it! I really enjoy the commentary by your son. He was too funny!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Vic! Yeah, I think he may have a future in YouTube vids! We are thinking of doing another one this weekend :-)
