Description

A sweet–salty, crunchy dessert that transforms chocolate-chip cookie dough into a crisp brittle loaded with pretzels, potato chips, caramel, and melted chocolate.


Ingredients

1 cup butter, softened

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/4 tsp salt

1 cup mini chocolate chips

1/2 cup crushed potato chips

1/4 cup whole pretzel twists

Flaky sea salt, to taste

Caramel, for drizzling

Melted chocolate, for drizzling


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, beat butter, sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla until light and fluffy.
  3. Add flour and salt; mix until a dough forms.
  4. Fold in mini chocolate chips and crushed potato chips.
  5. Spread dough evenly over the prepared baking sheet. Press whole pretzel twists into the top.
  6. Bake for 15 minutes, or until golden and crisp.
  7. Let cool completely, then drizzle with caramel and melted chocolate.
  8. Allow toppings to set, then break into brittle-style pieces and serve.

Notes

Use flavored potato chips for extra depth (kettle-cooked, smoky, etc.).

White or peanut butter chips can replace chocolate chips.

Add chopped nuts, sprinkles, or crushed cookies for more texture.

A sprinkle of cinnamon or espresso powder boosts flavor.
