Anyone with TNA trust Guittard? I found chocolate, butterscotch, mint, and white chips at Winco the other day. The label reads safe and the website indicates almonds at the facility but in a separate room, packaged separately.
YES.
We've used all varieties for many years here-- and we very definitely have walnut, cashew and pistachio allergies, and probably almond.
Thanks CM!
...the packages I found here of Guittard (so happy I can find them!!!) has "Made in a peanut and wheat free facility" on the front of the package :)
I trust them too - the almond thing, though I'm allergic, they are up front about when you call. "Same facility" can sometimes mean "in a large open room with lots of conveyer belts" but Guittard has them in a separate room which great detail and makes them safe for me!

The butterscotch and the white chips are the bestest ever. I love to make a butterscotch oatmeal pecan cookie (PF pecans), but it'd be amazing without the pecans, too.
Yup-- we make butterscotch-oatmeal here, and they are amazing. :heart: (Though I bet they'd be good with pecans, too. ;) )
Would one of you share your recipe? I was wondering what to make with those butterscotch chips. DD has asked for homemade chocolate ice cream with the mint chips mixed in....So I know what to do with a mint chips.
We use a very good butterscotch cookie recipe right on the bag of the Guittard chips. It is a butter cookies and no oats. Though I use oats in another recipe as well.
For oatmeal scotchies, I use the "vanishing oatmeal cookie" recipe on the box of Quaker oats. I reduce the cinnamon to just a dash or two, and omit the raisins. Use a whole bag of butterscotch chips.
Yeah-- just a standard oatmeal raisin recipe, but substitute any regular sugar with brown sugar (actually, reducing the sweetness a bit isn't a bad idea because of the sweetness of the chips), reduce the spices and omit any add-ins like nuts/raisins. I like a hint more vanilla in mine, too, but I love vanilla.

I make a chocolate cookie and use the mint chips every Christmas. DS and DH love them. Even I like them a bit (I don't like chocolate).
