"If you want to add chocolate chips to this, add 1 cup of Hershey's Milk Chocolate Chips just before pouring into the buttered pan. This came from my sister, Gail Lewis, in Bowling Green, Kentucky. She got it out of an old Hershey cocoa recipe book that she has used so much it is about to fall apart."
