This is an old review for a product I haven't seen in a while called Toll House Mini Toppers. I'm keeping the review here because it has a good recipe which can be made with or without the little chips. They're called Double Chocolate Dream Cookies and they are very good!
Toll House Mini Toppers Review
This week Nestle sent us samples of their new Toll House Mini Toppers. They're tiny chocolate and white chocolate morsels made especially for sprinkling. They would have been perfect on my Grasshopper Cupcakes, but the cupcakes were long gone, so I tried them on Double Chocolate Dream Cookies.
Double Chocolate Dream Cookies
Toll House has quite a few double chocolate cookie recipes on their website. All have varying proportions of cocoa/sugar/ butter etc., but the Double Chocolate Dream recipe was particularly good and very easy to fix. I did jazz mine up by throwing about 20 mini sandwich cookies into the dough, but they’d be great with just the chocolate chips or maybe even some other flavored chips. They baked up nice and thick and the texture of the cookie was a good contrast to the rich smooth chips.
What’s next for Toll House Mini Toppers? I don’t know, but I’m having fun looking for ways to "Shake on the Summer Fun!" (that tagline cracks me up).

Hi Anna, I was just wondering what the difference was (if any) between these mini-toppers and regular mini chocolate chips. Are they even smaller? Is the price comparable?

Those little toppers are cute, but what I really love are those cookies you threw in the batter! (and the choc. chip cookie cups are adorable!)

I'm always drawn to double chocolate cookies, and these are no exception! I clicked the link for the chocolate chip cookie cups -- what a creative idea. I'd love to try those and fill them with a dark chocolate ganache.
