Ingredients

  • ½ cup butter
  • 7- ounce dark chocolate bar divided
  • ¾ cup sugar cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup all purpose flour
  • ½ cup about 15 tiny-sized pretzels, slightly crushed
  • ¾ cup potato chips the kind with ridges, slightly crushed
  • Large granules of sea salt for sprinkling

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8x8 baking pan with a sheet of parchment paper, and extend the paper up the sides of the pan. Spray with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
  • In a medium saucepan, heat half of the chocolate with the butter over low heat until melted and stirred smooth. Remove from heat.
  • Cool slightly before whisking in the sugar, then the eggs, one at a time until combined. Stir in the vanilla extract. Stir in the flour into the wet ingredients just until it’s combined. 
  • Using a rubber spatula or offset spatula, spread the batter into the prepared baking dish, getting it to the edges of the pan. 
  • Top with crushed potato chips and pretzels. Roughly chop the remaining chocolate bars and sprinkle over the top.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. 
  • Cool in pan. Lift out by the paper edges when cool and cut into 16 squares.
