Chocolate chips are meant to be celebrated! Enjoy this deliciously chocolatey morsel with this quick and oh-so-easy recipe to treat yourself.

Can you believe it’s National Chocolate Chip Day! Yay o yay!

Since chips are one of the things that are always in my pantry, I’m so happy to celebrate this deliciously chocolatey morsel. There are soooooo many dishes that use chips, I can hardly decide which ones are my favorite.

Here are just a few:

Shall we start with the hallowed cookie? Chocolate chips are the favored add-in for chocolate chip cookies. But don’t stop there.

Any chip works,  as do nuts and dried fruit.

Mini-chocolate chips are perfect in coffee-dunking biscotti.

Chips are great on an ice-cream sundae bar.

Let’s mix these chips into brownies and bread, like chocolate chip banana bread.

Sprinkle a handful of chips into your homemade trail mix or bake them into your granola bar.

Just a few chips add a great bit of fun to your dessert bread pudding.

Ohhhh, and you can melt chips into things.

I once won a chili cookoff when I added dark chocolate chips to my chili base.

You can make a super mole sauce by adding in some chocolate chips. Chocolate and spice are everything nice!

Melting chocolate chips produces a rich chocolate fondue or a fabulous fudge sauce. Speaking of fudge sauce.

How easy is this?

1. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a deep pot over low heat.

2. Add 1 (14-ounce) can of sweetened condensed milk.

3. When the butter melts and the mixture is warm, remove the pot from the heat and stir in 2 cups of dark chocolate chips.

The result is a rich, chocolatey mound of chocolate fudge sauce that you can use to top ice cream, smush in between two cookies, spread onto a pretzel, or just dip your finger into when you need a dose of chocolate. It’s all good!
