Ingredients in Copycat Trader Joe’s Salty Snacks Chocolate Clusters Recipe

1 Cup mini Pretzels- Pretzel sticks work the best, but feel free to use any shape

1 cup corn chips – Fritos or similar

1 cup potato chips – salted, I like Kettle Brand

2 cups semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips

1-2 tbsp coconut oil – this will mix with the chocolate to give it a smooth texture

Instructions

• Crush the chips and add them to a bowl. I use my hands to break them into small pieces. You want them to be chunks, not finely crushed into crumbs.
• Melt chocolate – Put chocolate chips into a microwave-safe bowl with coconut oil and stir. Heat in the microwave at 20-30 second intervals, stirring each time. You want the chocolate to be melted enough to cover the chips, but not so thick that it won’t bind them together. You can also melt chocolate in the top of a double boiler.
• Using a large cookie scoop, drop the snack mixture into small clusters onto a large, prepared baking sheet covered in parchment paper, and pour the chocolate over the top.
• Put in the freezer for about 30 minutes
