Chocolate Chips

alice29 · 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).

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..

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)

wow neng, you like to cook? do you cook good? what recipe do you know? Me, I am learning, I am not in culinary school, but I look for online stuffs to learn cooking. I tried Siomai. I chose that because one store here sells siomai and it is extremely delicious.

*Siomai - steam meat wrapped in a wrapper originated from Japan.
