Cookie Nutella Spread

Made from just four ingredients, this chocolate spread borrows its deep flavor from crunchy chocolate chip cookies, which melt down with milk, butter and dark chocolate into one thick paste. Cook it over medium-low heat, stirring now and then; it is ready when the cookie pieces have collapsed and nothing catches on the bottom of the pan. The real trick is the blender: a quick spin, under a minute, takes it from grainy to silky. No chocolate chip cookies on hand? Oreos or digestives work too; adjust the milk until it spreads easily. Stored in a lidded jar in the fridge, it keeps for about a week.

Chocolate-Dipped Pringles

A two-ingredient sweet and salty snack: individual Pringles dipped in melted chocolate, then set on a tray straight from the freezer so the coating firms up in seconds without dripping. The chilled tray is the trick that makes this work. Prepare it by freezing a thin layer of water under a second tray while you melt about 100 g (3½ oz) of chocolate in the microwave for around 1 minute, stirring until smooth. Shake off the excess after each dip to keep the shell thin. You will know they are done when the surface turns from glossy and wet to matte. Milk, dark or white chocolate all work here.

Chocolate-Filled Pringles Tube

A full tube of stacked Pringles becomes one solid chocolate bar you cut into thick slices: melted chocolate squeezed down through the chips sets in every gap, locking the salty crisps inside. The trick is melting both bars right in their wrappers in a pan of boiling water for 3–4 minutes, then snipping a corner and piping straight in. Before chilling, tap the tube firmly on the counter a few times; that knocks out air pockets that would leave the bar crumbly when cut. Two standard bars, about 200 g (7 oz) total, fill one tube. Once it feels solid right through, peel away the cardboard and slice.
