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