Ingredients

  • 1 7.5 oz bag plain pretzel crisps
  • 4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 1/3 cups miniature marshmallows
  • 1 cup slivered almonds toasted and divided
  • 3 1/2 Tbsp solid vegetable shortening

Instructions

  • Toast Almonds: Preheat the oven to 350°F and toast the slivered almonds for 6-8 minutes, until lightly golden. Cool completely.
  • Line a baking sheet with wax paper and spread the pretzel crisps evenly on the paper.
  • Sprinkle the marshmallows and 3/4 cup of toasted almonds over the pretzel crisps. Chop the remaining almonds to sprinkle on top.
  • Melt together the chocolate chips and vegetable shortening in a double boiler or in the microwave in 30 second increments until the chocolate is completely smooth.
  • Pour the warm chocolate over the marshmallows then spread using an offset spatula or the back of a spoon. Gently spread to cover all of the ingredients evenly.
  • Sprinkle the top with remaining chopped almonds. Place the pan into the refrigerator for 2 hours or until set.
  • Cut or break into pieces.
