Every Passover my mom makes this Chocolate Chip Mandel Bread. Would you believe that it happened again?! I always thought this was one of my grandma's recipes, but then when I asked my mom for the sake of this very blog post, I found out that this recipe is actually from my dad’s childhood friend Bobby Lieberman’s mom – they called her Goggy! As per my mom, Goggy baked these all year round, and I can confirm that they really are that good! The taste brings me right back to my parents' kitchen table, having these as a kid with my whole family during Passover. This blog post is dedicated to Gladys “Goggy” Lieberman.
