Notes

Tips and Tricks
  • * Sometimes I substitute ½ cup of chocolate chips for 4oz of chopped semi sweet baking. If you want chunks of chocolate, you can do that too.
  • *For high altitude decrease both sugars to only ⅔ cups and increase flour to 2 ½ cups plus two 2 teaspoon water.
  • Nutrition is calculated without instant pudding added.
