Kale grows into deep beautiful colors -- purplish red, glowin...

These are a recipe I just invented, which turned out so well I had to share.  They're based off of regular chocolate chip but have different chunk content: only use 1/3 the chocolate chips, but add equal amounts of mini marshmallows and pecan bits.  I made a small recipe; it can easily be doubled. ...
