This recipe is adapted from a recipe on a package of Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips. Enjoy Life is an amazing allergy friendly company. Their products (as of the date of this post) are free of wheat, dairy, peanuts, tree nuts, egg, soy, fish and shellfish. Enjoy Life’s chocolate chips and chocolate chunks are favorites of this food allergy Mom because they help me bring a smile to my daughter’s face! My daughter may be allergic to milk, eggs, wheat and peanuts (among other foods), but as her Mommy I will make sure she enjoys the same treats I loved as a kid! That’s my plate of view, enjoy!
