Ah! You mean the “Broken Zipper” dessert—a fun, no-bake treat that looks like a zipper but is actually sweet and edible. Here’s a classic recipe you can try:
Broken Zipper Treats
Ingredients:
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup butter (melted)
- 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
- 1/2 cup peanut butter (optional, for extra flavor)
- 1/2 cup mini marshmallows or white chocolate chips (for “teeth”)
Instructions:
- Prepare the base:
- In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, and melted butter.
- Press the mixture firmly into a rectangular pan (8×8 or 9×9 works).
- Chocolate layer:
- Melt chocolate chips (and peanut butter, if using) in a microwave or double boiler.
- Spread evenly over the graham cracker base.
- Make the “zipper teeth”:
- Place mini marshmallows or small white chocolate chips in two rows along the center of the chocolate layer, mimicking zipper teeth.
- Create the “zipper pull”:
- Use a small piece of chocolate or peanut butter candy to form the zipper pull at one end.
- Chill & serve:
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.
- Cut into bars and serve your “broken zipper” treats!
If you want, I can also give a simpler, 5-minute microwave version that doesn’t require baking or melting on a stove. It’s even more playful for kids.
Do you want me to share that version too?
