Chocolate chips are a required ingredient in chocolate chip cookies which were invented in 1937 when a woman named Ruth Wakefield of the Toll House Inn added cut-up chunks of a semi-sweet Nestle chocolate bar to a cookie recipe. The cookies were a huge success, and
Wakefield reached an agreement in 1939 with Nestlé to add her recipe to
the chocolate bar's packaging in exchange for a lifetime supply of
chocolate. Initially, Nestlé included a small chopping tool with the
chocolate bars. In 1941 Nestlé and one or more of its competitors
started selling the chocolate in chip (or "morsel") form.
Bake something yummy with chocolate chips today...or just eat a handful!
Stay Cozy & Chocolatey too!

Hi Carrie! I LOVE this little tidbit of information! Chocolate chip cookies are a staple at our house ... I make them all the time with Nestle's toll house chips! Whenever I need that little chocolate fix (which I often do), I grab a handful of those puppies right out of the bag in my freezer and it does the trick! (I buy the SUPER DUPER EXTRA LARGE bag at Costco.)
