Believe it or not I cannot find chocolate chips anywhere! Maybe they are here right under my nose - but I don't think so. I've been to numerous super market chains, chocolate specialty boutiques, and "K-Mart" or "Target" -type stores. Nothing.
I'm dying to make those super-delicious "Toll House" chocolate chip cookies to knock the Havaianas off my friends. But I can't locate the KEY ingredient!
[Havaianas: the ubiquitous Brazilian flip-flops.]
Any Brazilians reading: please send me a tip if you know where I can find chocolate chips.

after 6 years here I have gotten used to almost everything - what I still bring from the States is chocolate chips and decafinated tea bags.
chocolat chips... buy hershey candy bars - freeze - when frozen use a mallet and break into small bits... have chocolate chunk cookies - the chocolate at least tastes the same.

I forgot... if you find it tell me
Enjoy your cookies lol
There's no such a thing as chocolate chips in Brazil. You can probably look for a place where they import food and ask if that's an item they carry. Good luck!!!
I was an exchange student to Brazil in 2007-2008. Before I left, they told us to bring presents to our host families and know how to make a few recipes, but for Chocolate Chip Cookies, we would have to bring thos chips in our luggage because they aren't usually found ANYWHERE in Brazil. :( American rest. have the cookies, but I believe most of it is imported from the USA, which is why it is so gosh-darn expensive at the Mickey-D's.
