This recipe would also make amazing cupcakes, just alter the baking time and mix in and swirl the chocolate for each cupcake individually. You could also toss in some pecans (my favorite) or walnuts for a bit of crunch and it you really want to go crazy this would pair nicely with a chocolate drizzle. 😋

Looks good! What brand of chocolate do you recommend for this recipe? Also, if I make this on Saturday, what’s the best way to store it to ensure it will stay fresh for Thanksgiving (5 days)?
Sonia,
I use 365 Everyday Value chocolate chips! Wrap it in plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator! Enjoy!

I made this and it was so good I couldn’t even stand it! Thank you!
I’m so glad you enjoyed them!!
Great recipe, but had a frustrating time making this. The recipe says to stir the dry ingredients, and then mix in the eggs, sugars, and oil. I interpreted that as stir the dry ingredients and then mix in the wet ingredients. I am an experienced baker and thought that it was odd to add the wet ingredients straight into the dry ingredients, but that was what the directions said to do. I ended up having to waste the first batch and do the whole thing over.
Additionally when you’re listing out ingredients, its easier to read if the list is separated into dry ingredients and wet ingredients, instead of listing some dry ingredients, wet ingredients, seasoning (which should be included with the dry ingredients), and then sugar which should be added to the wet ingredients. Also if you could write out the measurement of the chocolate in cups instead of ounces that would be helpful. Of course I can look it up online but its easier if its right there.
So good and so easy! My teen daughter whipped it up for us. Looks impressive too. Thank you!
