Nestle makes these new caramel-filled chocolate chips. They are a bit pricey so they are a total splurge for us, but definitely worth it for these delectable, fully loaded cookies. The soft cookie is balanced by a bit of chewiness from the caramel and a delightful crunch from the pretzels. And of course there is the beautiful balance of sweet and salty between the pretzels and the chocolate chips. The caramel-filled chips are one of those many lovely things that are difficult for us to find here in the city. We picked them up last time we were in Utah, but I'm all out now and I'm definitely craving these cookies again. Luckily my in-laws are coming to visit soon and they will usually pick up our list of Walmart things for us (they are awesome like that). Those little morsels are definitely on the list this time and I can hardly wait to make these cookies again!
