Yummy
They really are ridiculously delicious!
in Metric? 110 Gram – hope that is helpful
Hi I live in Australia and love cooking but I need to know what the weight of 1 stick of butter is please. I love the recipes on this site. Thanks !
Helen
A stick of butter is 4 oz. or 8 Tbs.or 1/2 cup or 24 tsp.
Fabulous! The only change I made was shortening the microwave time for the chocolate chip mix. My microwave is higher wattage. So – I did the initial 45 seconds, stirred, then 20 seconds, stirred, then 10 seconds. Perfect.
Thanks for sharing your tip!
Oh my stars! This recipe is yummy! My 10 year old son is gluten sensitive and I am always looking for new ideas. I used a gf graham cracker and they are excellent. My whole family keeps going in there to grab more!
I’m so glad you like the recipe, Christy… aren’t they so yummy? 😉
