Naptime Recipe Serving ideas
Sometimes I am just in the mood for a sweet dessert and this one always fits the bill. If you don’t want chocolate chips simply omit them. Or, you could add white chocolate or butterscotch chips in their place.
Naptime Stopwatch
Preparing the batter takes about 10 minutes and the remainder of the preparation time is used for baking.
Naptime Reviews
Everyone in my family has a sweet tooth, so this was sure to please. Sometimes, when I have people over, I cut them into bit size pieces for the perfect sweet nibble.
