Loved this, kids loved this, neighbors loved this, co-workers loved this. I loved the little time I had to spend making this . Only thing I added was vanilla extract and a dollop of sour cream cause it was in need to get used. Thanks for posting!

Delicious and perfect! Just what I want in a recipe when a craving arrives. The best part is I just stirred it all together like Grandma! :) Too many dishes to wash when everything has to be stirred separately. This is great! Thanks!

Great quick fix. We loved all the chocolate chips that were in these. They were sooooo yummy! We will be using this recipe a lot I'm sure. Thanks for posting.
