Chocolate Chipzels

What’s needed?

• 1 1/2 cups pretzels, crushed
• 1/2 cup chopped almonds (optional)
• 1/2 cup shredded sweetened coconut (optional)

How to make Chocolate Chipzels?

• In a large microwave safe bowl, melt the chocolate by heating for 30 seconds at a time, stir and heat for another 15 seconds. Stir again until chocolate is smooth. Repeat if necessary.
• Add the crushed chips and pretzels and stir gently, trying not to crush pieces further.
• Add additional ingredients as desired. Just about anything will work.
• Place spoonfuls of the pretzel mixture onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper placing them 2 inches apart. Add a small piece of potato chip or a pretzel to each cookie for decoration.

• Refrigerate the cookies until they are set. Remove and serve at room temperature. Rich and delicious! This recipe makes 24 cookies.

What type of chocolate should I use?

• Dark Chocolate chips can certainly be used instead of semi-sweet chocolate. It makes these treats even more decadent. Add a pinch of sea salt to the top of each treat to accentuate the rich dark chocolate.
• White chocolate is also a nice choice for holiday batches of these treats. And you can top each cookie with a pinch of red or green colored sugar to make them festive. The possibilities are endless and the Chipzels are irresistible.
