To create her unique sandwiches Nell, from Yorkshire, shows viewers how she bakes crisps into her bread before adding even more as a filling.
Her creations have now taken the video platform by storm with Nell's videos reaching up to 2.1M views.
Nell's original creations have now sent TikTok users into a frenzy for crisp sandwiches, with one user writing on the platform: "Honestly that looks like my idea of heaven."
Another TikTok user added: "This looks utterly insane."
Through showcasing her recipes Nell hopes to champion the use of crisps in sandwiches more often, as she said that crisps are often viewed as an "afterthought".
'The hardest thing to achieve with a pre-made sandwich is the crunch,' Nell explained.
'Why not try and make the crisp the hero product?'
So far, Nell has dabbled with Scampi Fries, Mini Cheddars, Discos, Frazzles and more.
"I've always picked challenges that I think are going to be relatable to my audience, which is majority UK,' said Nell. "Crisps are something we all enjoy, something we're all a part of.
'I'm just showing people you can re-imagine something you have known for years in a new way to find a little bit of excitement out of something very commonplace.'
The 28-year-old also said she used to view her passion for creating sandwiches as a "side hustle" after reviewing supermarket Christmas meal deals, while at university.
'It then turned into an annual feature and during lockdown, I started creating my own recipes and food blogs," she said.
From showcasing her recipes on TikTok Nell has now pursued her own sandwich catering business based in London.

See the Destiny's Child Reunion at Beyoncé's Final Cowboy Carter Show
THE RUNDOWN On Saturday night, Beyoncé thrilled fans on her final Cowboy Carter tour stop when she invited Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams on stage to reunite Destiny's Child for the first time in seven years. Fans shared footage from the moment on TikTok, which shows Beyoncé welcoming her colleagues to Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas as their song 'Independent Women' played. The Renaissance singer called out, 'Destiny's Child, bitch!' The famous trio performed a medley that included 'Lose My Breath,' 'Say My Name,' and 'Soldier.' Rowland and Williams also joined Beyoncé for her 2022 song 'Energy,' finishing with her famous 'mute challenge.' As it finished, Beyoncé sang, 'Look around, it's me and my crew. Big energy!' The reunion ended with the massive 2001 hit 'Bootylicious,' before Beyoncé hugged Williams and Rowland and then waved them offstage, telling the crowd, 'Give it up for Destiny's Child!' Beyoncé welcomed a few other guests for her final Cowboy Carter tour stop, including her husband, Jay-Z, and country music star Shaboozey. She and Destiny's Child were last seen together when Beyoncé headlined Coachella in April 2018. The star shared a picture with her friends on stage from the night in which they're all wearing variations on a gold ensemble, including fringed and shimmering gold chaps. In the image, Beyoncé is smiling widely as Williams leans in to give her a kiss on the cheek and they have their arms around one another. The group rose to prominence in the 1990s and originally had four members: Beyoncé Knowles, Kelly Rowland, LaTavia Roberson, and LeToya Luckett. The group transformed into the better known trio including Williams, but then disbanded in 2006. They have remained supportive friends and fans have been hoping to see them reunite for years.

Julia Garner spills on Silver Surfer secrets: 'I never looked so cool'
Julia Garner is enjoying her chrome era. There was instant fan love when Garner's Silver Surfer first appeared in a trailer for Marvel's 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps' (in theaters now). Since then, the character has inspired Instagram cosplayers as well as TikTokers meme-ing her in-movie message, heralding the coming of planet-devouring Galactus. 'I don't have a TikTok,' Garner says. 'People have been talking about TikTok. They're like, 'Did you know that this was going to be a thing on TikTok?' I'm like, no. I'm in disbelief that people even know me.' Playing the silver alien Shalla-Bal, though, 'I never looked so cool in my life,' Garner adds with a laugh. 'This looks almost like a Met Gala look or some high fashion thing.' Join our Watch Party! Sign up to receive USA TODAY's movie and TV recommendations right in your inbox Being in a Marvel movie is a departure for Garner, who won three Emmys for her role in the Netflix drama 'Ozark.' But she gets one heck of an entrance: In the retrofuturistic 1960s setting of 'Fantastic Four,' Shalla-Bal arrives in Times Square on a spiffy surfboard to warn that Earth is 'marked for death' and Galactus (Ralph Ineson) is on the way. Since she's the one who identifies the planets that will be her boss' next meal, Shalla-Bal has a 'toxic relationship' with Galactus. 'There's no HR,' Garner quips. However, her connection with Johnny Storm (Joseph Quinn), the Human Torch and youngest Fantastic Four member, is one that's actually meaningful to her. 'She finds him amusing, but she doesn't really want to show him. Secretly, I think she likes the attention.' Garner, 31, who says she puts 'love, rage and secrets' in every role she plays, did a deep dive into Shalla-Bal's comic-book history. In Marvel lore, she was the lover of Norrin Radd, and when he agreed to be Galactus' herald (and the original Silver Surfer) to spare their planet Zenn-La, they were separated. The actress was most surprised by 'actually how tragic her story is. If this was a human, you would be like, it's devastating. So that really resonated with me and helped ground it.' One thing she didn't find going down that geeky rabbit hole: Her character inspiring the 1989 Joe Satriani guitar track 'Back to Shalla-Bal.' In 2007's 'Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer,' Doug Jones played the Radd version of the Surfer. But director Matt Shakman wanted to use Shalla-Bal instead because 'First Steps' was a different universe than fans have seen – it takes place on Earth-828, as opposed to the MCU's Earth-616 – and that choice made for a 'really interesting story line' with Johnny. A lot of attention was paid to how the computer-generated Shalla-Bal would appear. Garner portrayed the Surfer via a motion-capture suit and a helmet with a GoPro-type camera attached, and it was important to Shakman that Shalla-Bal was shiny and 'completely reflective' but still 'emotionally powerful,' he says. Another fun fact: Copper veining was added to the Surfer's facade. 'There's a sense of old weathered metal in places, just this idea that she's been doing this a long time and she's gone through some pretty inhospitable environments. So there's a touch of history to her.' Shakman also hooked Garner up with surfing adviser Tehillah McGuinness to guide her with Shalla-Bal's movement. 'She surfs a neutron star. She surfs a wormhole, she surfs real water, she surfs lava. There's a lot of great ways to make use of her Surfer-ness in the movie,' the director says. With McGuinness' help, Garner learned how to feel comfortable and balanced on the board, 'and not look clumsy, like you're in control,' she adds. Garner, who next stars in the horror film "Weapons" (in theaters Aug 8), found ways to add her own secret sauce to the Silver Surfer. For the opening message to humanity, she studied how T.S. Eliot would read his own poetry. 'It was very eerie in a way but also comforting at the same time,' she says. To get in Shalla-Bal's mindset before takes, she'd listen to spacey '70s krautrock music ('I just imagined that that's what she would be surfing to') and also learned to speak her character's fictional native tongue, Zenn-Lavian. 'It's not as hard as you would think. It's not like learning Japanese or something,' Garner laughs. 'Would I want a monologue in Zenn-Lavian? No. But I can say a few lines.' And while Garner became the Silver Surfer, she hasn't tried out her newfound board skills in real life. Nor will she. 'The water that I enjoy is that kiddie water that doesn't have any sort of wave,' she says with a smile. 'I'm quite scared of waves.'
