Nestlé Copycat Recipes
Nestlé's American baking legacy is built on the Toll House chocolate chip. Ruth Wakefield developed the original recipe at her Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts in the late 1930s, adding chopped Nestlé semi-sweet chocolate to her Butter Drop Do cookie dough. Nestlé acquired the recipe, reportedly for one dollar plus a lifetime supply of chocolate, and began printing it on bags of Toll House semi-sweet morsels starting in 1939. The formula has remained essentially unchanged for over 85 years, making it the most widely replicated cookie recipe in American history. Nestlé's baking portfolio also includes the Toll House refrigerated cookie dough products and, through its 1972 acquisition of Libby's, the most-used canned pumpkin on the market. A 12-oz bag of Nestlé Toll House semi-sweet morsels retails for about $3.50–4.50 at most grocery stores.
