From Lisha Hogan My notes: When I don't have a candy bar I use milk chocolate chips. I always use margarine. These cookies are so good, but best fresh. Since the recipe makes so many I usually roll into balls and put in a ziploc in the freezer. They are super yummy frozen :) but can also be cooked.
