Chocolate Chipzels
Chocolate Chipzels combine salty almonds, potato chips, and crunchy pretzels with sweet coconut and chocolate to make an amazing no-bake treat.
Ingredients
- 16 ounces semi-sweet chocolate
- 1 1/2 cups ridged potato chips, broken into pieces
- 1 1/2 cups pretzels, broken into pieces
- 1/2 cup almonds, chopped (optional)
- 1/2 cup sweetened coconut, shredded (optional)
Instructions
- 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.
- Using a tablespoon, 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.
Equipment
- 1 large sheet pan
Notes
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.
