Chocolate Chip Day

How will you celebrate Chocolate Chip Day?

The day isn’t just for cookies. Chocolate chips are great in pancakes, muffins, pudding, ice cream, pies, and even right out of the bag! I’ve done this before when I have a craving for something chocolatey. I always have at least one bag in my pantry.

In 1937, Ruth Graves Wakefield of Whitman Massachusetts added cut-up chunks chocolate to her cookies. The cookies were a huge success and in 1939 Wakefield signed an agreement with Nestle to add her recipe to the chocolate bar’s packaging. In exchange for the recipe, Wakefield received a lifetime supply of chocolate.

Today, chocolate chips come in a variety of flavors including dark chocolate, milk chocolate, semi-sweet, white chocolate, mint, pumpkin spice, peanut butter, and butterscotch.
