If you want to venture out of the box and try some different mix-ins, you can swap out the chocolate chips for any (or any combination) of these:
  • Peanut butter, butterscotch, or white chocolate chips or chocolate chunks
  • Mini M&Ms
  • Raisins
  • Chopped nuts
  • Chopped candy bars
  • Sprinkles
  • Pretzels
  • Cherry chips (these can be hard to find but they were my favorite from the bakery where we grew up)
