So, was looking for a place to purchase online and see at this site they are 20% off. Contemplating a 12 package order due to the better shipping rate relative to volume purchased. But I do not think I would use so much fast enough. Anyway, just sharing for those who try to scout out Guittard. I have never used this website for orders and am not endorsing. Just helping others find th eelusive Guittard butterscotch chips! SOme are repackaged bulk, but scroll down to find packages as well.

Let me know if you need another visit from the Guittard fairy!
Thanks. I placed an order. The white chocolate syrup looked tempting.
w00t! Guittard at Safeway 2/$6!!! regular size bags of chips. I bought the super dark, mint green, and these new white peppermint flavored chips "smooth & melty" that had red/green nonpareils on them.
The white ones, are really really pepperminty. Candy cane pepperminty. The green mint ones are more like the traditional Andes softer mint flavor.
I'm gonna have fun!

Becca,
Thanks for sharing the link. My order arrived today. Yum.
Ohhhhh-- I'll have to look for those, nameless. I love the green ones, but I am a serious peppermint fan and those just sound really cool.
The Cafe Au Lait are the ones that I would probably chew off a limb to get again... I've only seen those once, a couple of years ago now.
The white ones, dark, semi-sweet, milk, and butterscotch are all available year-round at WinCo stores in the pacific Northwest.
Oh, my. I really need to find those peppermint chips. And cafe au lait? I've never seen those at all, but they sound transcendent.
I don't see them online - and there were only 2 bags at the Safeway I go to. If you like, later when I'm out, I'll pass by the Safeway and can see if they have any more of the peppermint "smooth and melty" ones w/ the red/green non-pariels? I'm happy to ship to you :)
Adrienne
No need, no need!
Found the awesome pepperminty ones there tonight! :thumbsup: I'm guessing that means that they must be chain-wide. Word to the wise-- they're in uncharacteristically CLEAR packaging. (No opaque foil like all the other varieties that Guittard makes.)

Yes, I forgot to mention the packaging. It's a line called "Smooth & Melty" for the non-pariel looking things...and people use them as candy favors (from what I'm reading). These Xmas ones are different though, smaller, chips.
I don't know how I'll bake with them yet. I have a chocolate fudgy cookie recipe and these might do well in them. Or...topping hot brownies out of the oven...so they kinda melt onto the brownies but not completely melt.
Do you like them?
Adrienne
Haven't tried them yet. ;D I only bought them about an hour ago. LOL!
I love peppermint, though, so the odds are good.
They have the little nonpariels on the bottom of each chip (standard size chips, not mini or jumbo, not disks)-- they're very pretty just as they are, honestly... which makes it something of a shame to bake them into cookies.
Oh, I have had "smooth and melty" in a pastel version years ago from my old guittard order compnay. They disappeared(the compnay). But I have rarely found a holiday version in a local pharmacy type of store. Hit or miss specialty here. They are a very nice, buttery sort of minty non-pareil.
Thanks Ra3! This was easy enough and there was a coupon, so not rediculously expensive. My problem before was I could not find any mail order with them in packages, only re-packed from bulk. So this is a good find, and a few hours from home, so quick service.
The website shared here is having a coupon this weekend for 15% off any order, 20% off orders over $100.
Code is WEEKEND15

We finally have them in a local store, so this year I'm using them in my fudge. Yum!
Alert to Massachusetts members if you have a Sudbury Farms or Roche Bros grocery store. I found these at one of their locations today! I have never seen them locally. I have Emailed to thank them and request they consider having them year round. They had them with a holiday display of baking products.
I wish I had been there before ordering a bunch of the butterscotch. I would have saved a significant amount of money. I still grabbed a mint and white bag, since I used those last night and was out.
They also had the smooth and melty minty candy non-pareil type drops!
Having a devil of a time finding any Guittard in stores these days in eastern USA -- World Market no longer seems to carry here . . . and some Giant's used to, but also no more.
Not in Wegmans or Whole Foods.
Would really like to buy from store rather than online & pay huge shipping.
Otherwise, I'll be on a hunt for them and will hoard when next out West.
*sigh*
Williams Sonoma often has the wafers (but not the chips). I haven't been to whole foods lately, but last time there were plenty of guittard chips at mine. I always stock up when I am there.
For grins & giggles I checked Amazon. They do indeed have Guittard. And not only do they have Guittard they have it 50 lb. bags that can conveniently be delivered via mail through heat waves to your front door. Grab your chisel and hammer.
I get Guittard at Christmas Tree Shops. The store is sometimes hit or miss with them, but I usually find a couple of different varieties there.

I haven't seen the chips in any stores around us. I have found the Guittard wafers at Sur La Table in a local mall, but expect to pay top dollar.
Once the weather cools in the fall, I have it on good authority that the Guittard fairy is occasionally seen making drop chipments.
;)
Just noting.
(One must determine one's own comfort level for sharing one's home address with a west-coast FAS member, however, should one find a willing party to act as your... er... dealer.)
LOL! So, between now and then all I need to do is train our UPS driver to quit bleeping dropping the packages at the garage door where stuff sits in sun all day and haul his lazy rump with packages to the front door where there is shade and overhang?
Ok, I can do that.
I'll bribe him with cupcakes made with Guittard, TYVM.
:evil:
Doesn't the 50 lb block of melted chocolate chips sound like fun though? Like making my dreams as an 8 year old come true.
twinturbo -- the 50lb block sounds like fun if we return from west with pick ax after prospecting for gold. LOL!
World Market seems to change their stock as the season warms as well. I have better luck finding Guittard after Halloween.
Bought my first bag today at Fresh Market. I'm pretty excited!
I've also ordered the chips from World Wide Chocolate. That certainly works when the weather is cooler. I've found Hershey's chips at Wegmans (though they're not as yummy at Guittard).
I found semi sweet and milk chocolate guittard chips at Big Lots today.
Ajas, I can usually find them here. Feel free to PM me if you want a care package.
The Guittard Fairy will also be doing mailings to the east soon. ;)
Oh mymymy! This fairy has access to chips, baking chips in a bag a baking chips in a box, and at my grocery store they sell GIANT chocolate and white chocolate bars broken up. Santa brought me a chunk the was the size of a dinner plate. It wasn't until after we had used it that it occurred to me the store's bakery must have done that and wow, aren't we happy to still be alive?
I can also be a Scharffenberger bar fairy.
:misspeak:you mean I didn't have to eat them myself?? :hiding:
LOL! I found these recently at Whole Foods.....could not remember if they were safe........did not get an answer back when I called so I ordered VNF and proceeded to eat the chips myself for snacks! I must say, they were quite yummy!
Guittard butterscotch, if you can get it, is far better than VNF butterscotch.
I may need to enlist the help of a guittard or scharffenberger fairy this fall.
I will absolutely volunteer but there will be a delay with milky orders. I can do it np just need time for dedicated run and wash down after. DS1 can help Guittard's absolutely safe for him. For dark chocolate bars I can do those virtually anytime. I might even throw in a box or two of botan ame. ;)
oh gosh
Guittard butterscotch is the BOMB!
Desperately seeking those for holiday baking . . . used to be able to find at World Market, but most of those no longer carrying.
BTW, found some Guittard (think it was milk choc chips?) at a localish Ben Franklin.
Cannot recall if I posted that earlier . . . just sticking it in here now.
