(i don't have those alot, but when i do... oh man.) and by the way, most semi-sweet dark chocolate chips seem to be vegan, but check the ingredients before you buy. i've been told that tropical source makes the best vegan ones, they're supposedly fair trade and all that good stuff, but i'm poor, so i'm not that picky. ingredients: 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips 1/2 cup soy milk 3/4 cup peanutbutter...
