10 Recipes to Help You Celebrate National Chocolate Chip Day

Chocolate chips are undoubtedly one of the greatest ingredients ever created.  When I heard that National Chocolate Chip Day was on May 15th, I knew there was a big celebration coming. Small enough that you don’t feel like you’re over eating, but just the right size to satisfy your sweet tooth.  What’s not to love?

Although I am definitely one to eat these tiny treats by the handful, here are some awesome chocolate chip recipes that you can make in honor of this day.

1. Classic Chocolate Chip Cookie
