Key Ingredients for Pretzels wrapped in potatoe chips

• 3 cups semisweet chocolate chips: Use milk chocolate or dark for different sweetness levels.
• 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk: A must for smooth texture. No subs here.
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract: Skip imitation varieties for best flavor.
• 6 ounces dark chocolate (melted): Swap with white chocolate for a new twist.
• 1 cup Lay’s Wavy potato chips (crushed): Any wavy chip works, but Lay’s is classic.
• 1 cup mini ROLD GOLD pretzels (crushed): Stick pretzels work too, if that’s what you have.

How to Make the Pretzels wrapped in potatoe chips Recipe (Step-by-Step)

• mix and melt

  Start by lining an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper—this helps you lift out the fudge later. In a medium pot on low heat, combine the semisweet chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk while stirring constantly. Once it’s melted into a creamy chocolate mixture, remove it from the heat. Toss in the vanilla, and half a cup of the crushed pretzels and potato chips for a crunchy surprise. Spread it evenly into the lined pan and let it rest.

• refrigerate and top

  Let the fudge chill in the fridge for about 10 minutes to set. While you wait, melt the dark chocolate in the microwave in 30-second bursts (always stirring in between). Once the fudge is semi-set, pour most of the melted dark chocolate over it, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle on the remaining crushed chips and pretzels to coat the surface, and drizzle the rest of the dark chocolate for a fancy finish. Pop it back in the fridge for 2 hours or more.

• slice and serve

  Now comes the fun part: slicing. Use a sharp knife to cut the chilled fudge into squares. You can go big and make 9 large-ish pieces or go classic with 16 smaller squares.

Use high-quality chocolate—it makes a big difference in taste.
