says:I used the bakers chocolate for melting but I didn’t have regular chocolate chips so I used my cinnamon chocolate chips on top and where it called for regular chips. It tasted great with a cinnamon twist!

says:Could I use baking chocolate instead of Chocolate Chips? I don’t have any on hand. If so how much would I use? I have the powdered kind in the can
Nanny Pat

Isa Yguico
says:Hi. Your recipe sounds yummy and I’d like to try it. The procedure calls for milk but the ingredients list does not include milk. I would just like to confirm before I start out. Thanks!
Lovefoodies
says:Hi Isa, So very sorry about the error. It was a typo, and there is a comma after milk which should not be there! There is no milk in the recipe and it should read ‘milk chocolate chips’. Thanks so much for bringing this to our attention. I have amended the instructions so they are correct.
