Must-Try Cajun Potato Chip Brownies

November 3, 2011

Sweet and salty baked goods are more popular than ever.  We love chocolate with pretzels, sea salt with caramel but how about potato chips with brownies?  These brownies are unique to say the least but taste delicious.  The potato chips not only add a salty element but also a great crunch.  You can use regular salted potato chips or go for the bag of spicy chips as the recipe suggests.  Try this recipe and you never know, you might be pleasantly surprised.
