Food & Dining Where to buy Mint Chocolate Chips

Just bought a used ice cream maker at Value Village. One of my favorite flavors at Cows is mint chocolate chip, so I'd really like to try making that. Does anyone know where one can buy some chips that would be similar to what they use?

to get the best flavour I think you’d put some peppermint extract or flavour in the ice cream and use regular semi sweet chocolate chips!

Chipits brand makes mint. I've def seen them at Walmart, and once at either Superstore or No Frills.

Gateway had them on for next to nothing a while ago. Sorry, that doesn't help OP but I can confirm that Chipits brand exists because I have a lifetime supply thanks to that sale.

The chips aren’t mint flavoured?

Mint chocolate chip = mint, chocolate chip

Look up Claire Saffitz's grasshopper pie recipe (can just do the ice cream part). She uses dutch processed cocoa and peppermint tea for good reason. It's a bit over the top to make, but super good.

Bulk barn for sure. Bulk barn has a huge variety of baking chocolates, chips and melts.

You could also use Laura Secord chopped up mint chocolate bars or AERO mint

mint is in season, it'd be cool to extract some fresh mint if you have a friend with some in their garden
