Unsweetened Cocoa Powder - Hershey's unsweetened Cocoa Powder works well for this recipe.

Chocolate Chips - Chocolate chips are optional for this recipe but they make a nice addition if you don't mind a couple of extra calories. Nestle semi sweet chocolate chips are delicious and are a perfect chip to add in or for less sugar try Lily's Stevia sweetened chocolate chips.
