I know. I recently noticed myself grabbing chips, chocolate, and chips on hearing absurd news. Once conscious of this reaction, I continued grabbing salt and vinegar chips. Tomorrow, I am VERY committed to protesting with healthy food choices. A few SuperBowl snacks today.
What about chili ? I just made a potful of turkey chili and will also make cornbread on Sunday. Fritos are perfect with M&M's. I think you have all the required food groups. Go Eagles !
the brittle looks great. Does all of the stuff actually stick to the base enough or is it kinda a granola+cookie situation? Or am I missing some drizzle-to-stick-it-down thing?
It all sticks! Does a bit of pretzel or chip crack off when you break up the brittle, sure? But otherwise the dough rises up a little, "grabs" the toppings and then the get baked on.
The brittle is baking here in NJ7 right now! Pistachios, cranberries, choc chips, white chips, heath bits, butter scotch chips, mini pretzels and Maldon flake salt. Everything was in the house. Looking forward to cooled crunch tomorrow.
To put it mildly this does not look appealing to me. Maybe it's American, over the top in its excess. But that does not say much for our gustatory preferences which do not have to be sophisticated necessarily ( brownies) This is (for me) junk food baked in a sugar brittle. No nonsense sugar fat and salt UGH! I get the sweet and salt thing.. but this? It is pretty contrarian though.
American food is most all defined as TOO MUCH, yes. And on Super Bowl Sunday, the worst of our habits take over. It will be the first silly thing I have done since MLK Day...I am absolutely going to try to make these insane cookies.
Go for it! I just don't think, after collecting all the ingredients and making this, that I am going to feel very good. I hope you have other mouths to share this with and you don't wind up eating it all yourself. This seems addictive- like you can go off the cliff with it. Sugar, salt, fat, on steroids. I might as well say I am not a fan of this sport either. It is, though, very symbolic of what is taking us over right now. I suppose it's better than boxing... maybe.
I don't think American food is mostly too much. We have some great commonly made dishes and treats...brownies, strawberry shortcake, hamburgers, BLT's, cornbread... I could go on.
Report: I didn't have enough white sugar so used more brown than white - fine. Toppings were semisweet & dark (60%) chocolate chips, toffee chips, dried cherries, pretzels, tortilla chips, and drizzled melted peanut butter chips after baking. I mixed the toppings ahead of time, tasted & adjusted - a nasty job, but someone had to do it.
Just made this and brought it in to work. I used Cup for Cup gluten free flour and it worked fine. I topped with Bugels, Reese’s pieces, a mix of dark, milk, and white chocolate chips, and Heath chips. So, so good—I’m getting accolades and curses.
Dear Marissa,
On the topic of Secrets... How do you not gain a pound a week?
Asking for a friend.
(I actually gained 25 or so during the last Trump administration! 😳 It took 14 VERY committed months to lose it all.)
You are nice! That's all I'll say! Very nice!
I gained weight but lost many brain cells from listening to the Idiot Who Thinks He's a Genius for the last 8 years, so that cancelled each other out.
HAHAHA!

Oooh I love this - could you add dried fruits to the toppings? Thinking of tart dried cherries I have on hand.
Same question about keeping it from all falling apart.
Yes, as I mentioned below they will stick! And dried cherries would be delicious.
Yum

This was a hit here in NJ7. Thanks for the uplifting crunch.
I’m making this now. It’s a fun, colorful recipe. Thank you!
These sound so over-the-top ridiculous, I am totally going to make them! LOL
