Oh my...Potato Chips, Pretzels and Chocolate all in the same cookie, what a wonderful treat. I can't wait to make these cookies. Thank you so much for bringing them to Full Plate Thursday and please come back!
ReplyDeleteI know! I saw these when watching Top Chef and it was everything I love in one fabulous cookie. I am enthralled with the whole "sweet & salty" mix-up... I remember being a teenager and pouring a mixture of melted butter and sugar over top of saltine crackers and baking it, then snapping them apart for a sweet, salty, crispy YUM-fest! LOL
ReplyDeleteYour recipe is dangerously yummy looking! I've never thought of potato chips and chocolate together...
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, those look amazing! Chips, pretzels, AND chocolate? That sounds like the perfect dessert! I wish I had some right now, haha.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Top Chef! I can't believe he won that challenge....it wasn't really even a cookie! But they look really good!
