I see a lot of cooking experts these days replacing chocolate chips with expensive chocolate. Melting it for brownies, cakes cookies, puddings, fillings and icings. Instead of chips they go for the shavings.
I will stick with the chips and Kisses and cocoa. I will keep the families palates craving what we can afford. A favorite around here that we have most often is pancakes that I mix mashed bananas into the batter and sprinkle chocolate chips over when they are griddlin. Chocolate chip cookies are always a treat. I like to make over size chocolate chip cookies, put a scoop of icecream between 2 cookies and then roll them into the little chocolate chips. |

mashed bananas I have not heard that word in a long time
'mashed' brings back great memories I may have to use a substitute my hubby is allergic to bananas - big time but he loves my chocolate covered pretzels. I went to a party and took chocolate covered pretzels as a gift the host a millionaire who owns many hotels counted his guests placed that amount on a serving dish and hid the remainder, later on in the week I was told by his wife that he refused to share with anyone, even her she had to find his secret place and it so happened that two of his guests heard about the pretzels went to his home and jokingly asked for a pretzel believe it he gave them one only to taste it was a big joke and conversation at our next party. He looked at me without a guilty look and said they were so good I was not sharing |

I love choc-dipt pretzels as well! In Anchorage there is a huge, fun candy factory/store called "Alaska Wildberry Chocolates". In their beautiful candy case they sell chocolate-dipt everything! From jumbo dipt marshmallows, graham crackers and truffles- to the hugest choc-dipt dried apricots and dried peaches I've ever seen! They also dip thick fresh orange slices (rind and all) into chocolate... SO delicious!
