30 Delicious Chocolate Chip Recipes (That Aren’t Cookies)

What do all of these desserts have in common (besides complete and total deliciousness)? They all use one ingredient that you probably already have in your pantry: a bag of chocolate chips. Sure, they’re great in cookies, but these little morsels can be used in so many other recipes. Bring on the cakes, brownies, quick breads and cupcakes. Here, 30 delicious chocolate chip recipes.

A desk snack that’s anything but boring.


20. Chocolate Chip Cake With Cream Cheese Frosting

Chocolate chip cookies are tasty, but they’re seriously lacking in the frosting department. This chocolate chip cake with cream cheese frosting is the answer. The base is part cookie, part cake, and the tangy frosting adds layers of creaminess.

21. Snickerdoodle Chocolate-chunk Bundt Cake

We transformed our favorite all-American cookie into a fluffy, decadent cake. It’s every bit as delicious as it sounds.

22. Disney's Plant-based Cookie Fries

Disney released the recipe for one of its iconic theme park treats from the Beaches & Cream Soda Shop. The chocolate chip dessert sticks are similar to biscotti and we suggest dipping them in chocolate sauce.

23. Springtime Saltine Toffee

Set this stuff out in a candy dish and watch it disappear. Everyone will be in disbelief when they learn how easy it was to make.

24. Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Sheet Cake

We always had a hunch banana bread would be better with frosting. Now we know for sure.

25. Chocolate-chip Mug Brownie For One

Sometimes (OK, always) you crave a warm, gooey brownie. But you usually (OK, always) don’t want to make an entire batch. Look no further than our recipe for a chocolate-chip microwave mug brownie for one.

26. Chocolate Almond Cheesecake

Salty and sweet in perfect harmony.

27. Baileys Chocolate Truffles

Instead of baking the same old chocolatey desserts, try something different like these Baileys-infused truffles.

28. Adaptogen Chocolate Bark

Just melt chocolate and sprinkle on some bee pollen (which is purported to improve your immune system) and this gorgeous dessert is ready in less than 30 minutes.

29. Brownie Layer Cake

Bake two pans of fudgy, decadent brownies (topped with chocolate chips and chopped nuts) and sandwich them together with whipped cream.

30. No-churn Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream

This fresh mint chip ice cream is a cinch to make at home, no special equipment needed.
