The one on the Nestle bag-good ol' chocolate chip cookies! :) HOWEVER, I substitute the sugar ratios so I use 1 full cup of packed brown sugar, 1/2 cup granulated (I LOVE brown sugar and the taste it gives the cookies)!.!.!. plus, I always do about an extra half teaspoon of vanilla extract!.
also, be sure to not overcook them!.!.!. And definately use real, unsalted butter!. :) YUMMY!
ADD: IF you choose to do like the lady above me suggested and do chocolate dipped berries, do not use chocolate chips, buy melting chocolate-it's MUCH smoother and is made just for this-you can even find them in the "bulk" section at any grocery store!. also, put the dipped berries, on waxed paper, in the freezer-the chocolate needs to harden quickly so it will maintain a nice "shine"!. If it hardens too slowly (which I've found happens in either the fridge or just on the counter) it will have that whitish overtone to it!.!.!.
You can sprinkle crushed macadameas on top before putting in the freezer- sprinkles, almonds, anything you can imagine!.!.!. I would avoid peanuts though in case of allergies!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

i do this all the time and everyone goes crazy for them!!
chocolate covered strawberries!!!!
rinse your berries and dry with a paper towel really Really REALLY well (any water in the chocolate will ruin it)
melt your bag of chips in the microwave for like 3 minutes, stopping and stirring every thirty seconds!.
once the chocolate is melted, just dip the berries in like 2/3 of the way down and set on waxed paper!. whwn your done put them in the fridge and the chocolate will harden right back up!.
if you follow these directions to a T, they will come out beautifully and you will be a star!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
