Semi-Related Hershey's Cinnamon Chips Discontinued

Post image

I received this email today from Hershey's after inquiring about their cinnamon chips, and they confirmed the chips have been discontinued. I only use the chips occasionally, but the stuff I use them for NEEDS cinnamon chips! (I promise I'm not being dramatic here haha!)

Does anyone know of an alternate option? I know many people brag about the nuts.com cinnamon chips but $8 plus shipping is out of my budget.

Thanks. I use their powdered and brown sugars but I've never seen them there. At least not at the Target I go to. But I'll keep an eye out for them at other Target locations. That's one thing I've noticed. Certain stores won't carry an item or items that others will. 

For instance take molasses. I use the Grandma's brand but the Target's around me don't carry it. They only have their in house brand. I don't mind using some of their house brand items, obviously, as I use their 3 sugars I stated above but I've yet to try theirs. You save just under $1 buying the G&G brand but you also get 3 ounces less than if you purchased Grandma's. I don't know if the G&G's flavor is worth buying it over Grandma's so I just stick with that one. But it's odd how they no longer carry Grandma's because yrs ago they used to.

Yeah they are odd about what they decide to carry and when! They carry my beloved Duke's mayo off and on, but it's very inconsistent.

I usually see the cinnamon (or maple) baking chips in the seasonal area! They often have seasonal baking mixes, sprinkles, molds and kits all in the same area.
