I'm going to try to make this cherry mash bar my mom used to make. The problem is finding the cherry flavored baking chips. I know Hershey's has them, but finding Hershey's up here (Newfoundland) can be a nightmare. My first 2 options are Bulk Barn (not listed searching the website, but might be in store if I look) and Walmart. Anyone have other stores I can check?

It's not a huge let-down if I don't find cherry ones. I can sub with another flavor chip.

    That might be a real challenge. I have never seen them in stores around here (Ontario). Have you checked Amazon.ca?

    I've never seen them here, but I'll ask my sis who is a baker.

    Know anyone in the states who could mail them to you? Those prices are ridiculous.

    It might be worth checking Michael's, they have a confectionary section and you might find something there you can work with. Another option is to buy flavouring oils... they sell them at Bulk Barn and I think Michael's too. They would definitely have a cherry flavour that you could add to white chocolate to simulate the cherry chips.

    Can you get cherry extract/flavoring? If so, maybe use that instead of vanilla and use white chocolate chips in the mix?
    I've never seen cherry chips (Vancouver) here. I would have given them a try, if I had. I have seen cherry extract.

    LOL! Just read your message, Charlotte.
    Sorry to double post an idea.

    All too often I find this with Amazon.ca. Many times you can order the same thing through Amazon.com or off Ebay for a much more reasonable price.

    I have plenty of family who would be willing, but I'm still waiting for last year's birthday present from my sister. We can be just a tad lazy. :tongue:

    I will see about getting flavoring oils and white chips. I did feel Bulk Barn would have them because they also have cinnamon, mint, butterscotch, and PB flavored chips, so why not cherry. We're heading to Walmart soon and I'm going to check the grocery aisles to be sure.
