National Chocolate Chip Day is celebrated on May 15 each year. This day honors the beloved chocolate chip, a small morsel of chocolate that is often used in baking. The chocolate chip was invented in the 1930s by Ruth Wakefield, who created the first chocolate chip cookie at her Toll House Inn in Massachusetts. On this day, people enjoy various treats made with chocolate chips, such as cookies, brownies, and pancakes. Many bakeries and cafes offer special promotions, and home bakers often take the opportunity to whip up their favorite recipes. It's a delightful occasion for chocolate lovers everywhere!
