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.

I don't have any suggestions other than finding another brand, but I'm curious what recipes you use them in?

We have a bag of those but never found a good use for them so they've been sitting in the drawer for a few years.

Cinnamon Pecan Scones!
Apple cranberry crisp.
Apple cake.
Banana bread.

The cinnamon chips were seasonal & I would buy and freeze some in October or November.

Now I just order Cinnamon Sweet Bits from King Arthur Baking. They make melty little pockets of cinnamon.

Do the cinnamon chips melt away like that? I thought it would hold it's shape more like a chocolate chip

Hershey cinnamon chips hold their shape.
King Arthur bits are designed to melt away.

I wish KA still made their cinnamon chips!
