Some chocolate chip recipes are just not made for the road, but you can convert them for the road. Or, if you’re bored with a certain dessert, you can always change it up. Before you head out, be sure to stop by Johnson Brothers Ford to have your vehicle serviced before you head out on your road trip.
Brownies
Make your favorite brownie recipe. After all the ingredients are incorporated, fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips or ½ cup chocolate chips and ½ cup peanut butter or white chocolate chips. You can optionally heat ¼ cup heavy cream until it reaches a simmer. Remove it from the heat and stir in ½ cup chocolate chips. Stir until the chips are melted. Pour over the brownies.
Chocolate Chip Cookie Twist
Make your favorite chocolate chip cookie dough. You can use all chocolate chips or you can split the amount of chocolate chips with peanut butter or white chocolate chips. Instead of making cookies, grease and flour an 9-inch by 11-inch cake pan. Press the cookie dough evenly into the pan. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit until a toothpick comes out clean – about 15 to 20 minutes depending on the amount your recipe makes. If the dough is thin in the pan, use a 9-inch by 9-inch pan for thicker bars. And, for thinner bars, start checking for doneness at 10 minutes.
Chocolate Chip Cupcakes
Mix up your favorite cake mix. Fold in 1 cup of mini chocolate chips. Fill cupcake tins about 2/3 full. Bake as directed for your recipe. Frost with your favorite frosting.
