It’s a well known fact that salty-sweet things are the darlings of the baking world. Who doesn’t love adding salted caramel or nuts to cookies, cakes, and brownies? Crazy people. These six recipes take this important combination to the next level by adding unique salted things into the mix. The best part is you probably have most of these salty ingredients at home!

The majority of these salty mix-ins are standard snacks at any grocery store. These snacks also add a unique texture into the mix compared to your standard salted caramel. I’m particularly a huge fan of adding potato chips to cookies – the subtle crunch is addictive.
