Happy Birthday, dear Marissa! On the off chance I'm every in Summit, New Jersey, will definitely go for the crumb cake. As for chocolate chunks, I buy Scharffenberger bittersweet chocolate bits which are pre-chunked. I like to mix them with mini chocolate chips when I make chocolate chip cookies, for a mix of textures, so will try that with this recipe.

Wishing you a very Happy Birthday and I'm adding one more chocolate chip recipe to my hoard. I used to get a German Chocolate cake from a bakery for my birthday (it's all about the frosting). Since I retired late in 2021 and moved back "home" I've spent my birthday with my two brothers and their wives (my daughter lives way too far away). In 2022 we ate pizza and had a grocery store ice cream cake at one brother's house, and in 2023 we went out to dinner at a very good restaurant. This year, though, I'm going to have to insist that whatever we do, I'm bringing a German Chocolate cake since that's what I really want.

Happy Birthday! On my birthday, my dogs address a card to “mom” and sign their names and wrap a gift. Last year I got a squeaky ball. (Cake sounds amazing to me).

Happy Birthday - all year long. Mine comes soon. I’ll be graduating from the medium old to the very old category. I don’t mind the bumps in the road as long as they are chocolate chips. Or chunks. Cheers!

Happy Birthday Marissa. I have a rule for birthdays. It is your day and you get to do everything you want to do. The cake sounded soo good. I remember my mom buying those butter cookies at the bakery when I was little. I remember the white waxy bag, and eating them exactly like you. With all the wild, horrible, out of control things going on, it's the simple things in life that bring pure joy.
