alice29 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 According to Nestle, Mrs. Wakefield (owner of the Toll House Inn) was making chocolate cookies but ran out of regular baker’s chocolate, so she substituted it with broken pieces of semi-sweet chocolate, thinking that it would melt and mix into the batter. It clearly did not, and the chocolate chip cookie was born. Wakefield sold the recipe to Nestle in exchange for a lifetime supply of chocolate chips (instead of patenting it and making billions!) Every bag of Nestle chocolate chips in North America has a variation of her original recipe printed on the back (margarine is now included both as a variant on butter and for those people who want to pretend it is healthy).

pjbabia Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Wow, i never knew that... so there must be a history of every chocolate trademark by any major chocolate making companies like Hershey's, Toblerone and others. It would be interesting to know those facts.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alice29 Posted February 3, 2011 Author Share Posted February 3, 2011 if only she was smart enough by not selling the recipe to nestle, she could have get more than lifetime supply of chocolate chips, and thats a lot of cash! B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
