Use 1 cup of regular semisweet chocolate chips or about 3/4 cup of mini chocolate chips in this recipe. You Might Also Like Favorite Cheesecake Recipes Brownie Swirl Cheesecake

Wilted Spinach Salad with Bacon Dressing The heated bacon dressing wilts the spinach leaves and gives this salad a wonderfully delicate sweet and sour flavor. The salad is garnished with sliced hard cooked eggs and crumbled bacon, and gets nice crunch from the red onion and radishes.
