The two Kellogg brothers Dr. John Harvey Kellogg and Will Keith Kellogg were experimenting with the process of making dough from boiled wheat wherein, one of the Kelloggs left the mash to dry. As a result, it splintered into individual flakes which the brothers baked in the oven, and the flakes produced Granose (cereal) which gave us Corn Flakes

As a result, it accidentally became chocolate chips when the batter came out of the oven.
