Mary these are great and I must apologize for late review. I love the cake mix idea as it simplifies things for me right now. I did use hte chocolate as I am a chocoholic addict. I can see using a devils food or a golden vanilla for this recipe. This is in my favorites cookbook . (Another reason I cannot believe I did not review it. I even had notes added for myself.) I did note that I made a batch with white choco chips and 1 with mint choco chips.

Loved this recipe! Using a cake mix really helped to simplify the recipe. The flavor was very good, you'd never know it was made with a mix. I might try a vanilla or lemon flavor next time. Thanks!

I think I like this recipe, the only thing I would change is to put the vanilla or white chocolate chips Inside the batter instead of the mini chocolate chips, it gives it a little varriance, and walnuts instead of almonds and just omit the almond extract(just not a fan of the flavor). But all in all this is a great recipe!
