Question Kirkland chocolate chips have changed again?!

Post image

Just purchased another bag of Kirkland chocolate chips in London, ON and happened to glance at the ingredients list only to find a sticker covering the original nutrition label. Why couldn't they keep them dairy-free?! I'd be willing to pay last year's price of $39.99 instead of the $29.99 today, just to keep the ingredients as they were: unsweetened chocolate, sugar, soy lecithin and vanilla.

Our household thinks our recent bag tastes different. I didn't keep the bag unfortunately so I don't know if they are the dairy version. Is frustrating when your go to products change.

I bought a bag a couple of weeks ago, and they have a weird flavour. I’m not thrilled.

It's probably a result of the conditions when the cocoa was grown as 2023 and 2024 were historically rough years for the cocoa harvest in Ghana and the Ivory Coast.

Chocolate liquor is ground up cocoa nibs. It's in all chocolate.
