Adding chocolate chips to any recipe makes it better, right!? Or is that just me? LOL!

#ChocolateChipDay

Thank goodness for this curious baker!

In 1937, Ruth Graves Wakefield of Whitman Massachusetts was working at the Toll House Inn, and she added cut up chunks of a semi-sweet Nestle chocolate bar and added them to a cookie recipe.

The cookies were a huge success! Is this any surprise!?

In 1939 she signed an agreement with Nestle to add her recipe to the chocolate bar’s packaging! And Wakefield received a lifetime supply of chocolate!!!! 😋
