What can I do with an overabundance of chives?

There’s an old saying: Waste not. Want not.

I don’t want to waste them but, damn!, I sure have a lot. We planted some in two gardens about 10 years ago and they did very well. They flowered and went to seed and spread and now I have more chives than Whole Foods! They even formed different species that I call: thin, regular, and wide.
There is no way I can keep up with the production.
I’ve put them in my eggs, on my bagels, in tuna, in salads, but every day I am blessed with more.
(Of course I can spray them with Roundup and end it but that would be a tragic waste.)
Insects don’t seem to bother it. Even the deer don’t eat it.

Are there any creative recipe ideas?
What else can I do with them?
