With the holidays approaching many of us will be using chocolate chips - milk chocolate, semi-sweet, white, butterscotch - you name it - in many of our holiday recipes.

What are some of the things you make with chocolate chips??

Cannoli Filling

2 cups of ricotta cheese
1/4 cup of bitter sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup of confectioners' sugar
1/4 teaspoon of vanilla
Dash cinnamon

Pass ricotta cheese through strainer. Add remaining ingredients and hand mix gently. Chill until ready to stuff cannoli shells. (Fills 6 shells.)

TOLL HOUSE BUNDT CAKE

2 3/4 c. flour
2 t. baking soda
1 t. salt
1 T. vinegar and enough milk to measure 1 c. (to make sour milk)
1 c. soft butter
1 c. brown sugar, firmly packed
1 T. vanilla extract
4 eggs
2 c. chocolate chips

In small bowl combine flour, salt and baking soda; set aside.

Place vinegar in a 1 cup measuring cup; fill with milk; set aside .

In a large mixing bowl combine butter, brown sugar and vanilla extract; beat till light and fluffy. Add eggs on low speed. Add flour mixture alternately with milk. Fold in the chocolate chips.

NUT TOPPING:
1/4 lb. soft butter

Spoon batter into pan and put on topping. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour to set before baking. Bake at 375* F. for 50 minutes.

Depending on who is eating them - I use several different fillings - and it is so easy to make. Enjoy!
