The recipe says 112 oz of chocolate chips. Am I right in assuming you meant 12oz? Otherwise that’s a LOT chocolate chips. Haha.
Haha! It’s 12! You could certainly try 112 though ;-)
I’ve made other cake mis recipes before, but these are by far the best ones. And so simple. I’m making for the third time and experimenting now with chocolate and butterscotch chips and pecan.
