I think we can all agree that chocolate chip cookies are delicious, but, they are a dime a dozen.  If you want the great taste of a chocolate chip cookie with a little extra oomph you should try substituting the chocolate chips out for chunks of Sweet’s Dark Chocolate Orange Sticks.  If orange isn’t your flavor, you can substitute Sweet Candy Co.’s chocolate cherry sticks, chocolate blueberry sticks, or chocolate raspberry sticks.  It is an easy way to make your cookies stand out and you can change up the flavors so it’s always something new! 

This has been a trick passed down from generation to generation of the Sweet family since we started making Orange Sticks 75 years ago! In fact, these cookies are Tony Sweet, 4th generation Sweet and Chairman of Sweet Candy’s, favorite treat! Tony asked that we share this recipe to make sure that everyone can enjoy this family tradition with us.

If your family has a recipe they always use you can just substitute the chocolate chips for one row of Dark Chocolate Orange Sticks cut into ¼” cubes. If not, we have borrowed a recipe from our friends at Betty Crocker and have shared it below!

1 Cup butter or margarine, softened
