I have also used this recipe for many years. Its very quick and easy. I usually make it following the recipe exactly but have been known to substitute peanut butter chips for the semi-sweet chips.

I did not make this particular recipe but one very similar that I got from my grandmother almost 50 years ago! My recipe does not call for any butter but the rest is the same and these are divine! I have also used peanut butter chips in place of the peanut butter and they worked well.
