Description
Chocolate-covered potato chips are the perfect blend of salty and sweet, creating a snack that’s hard to resist. Imagine the crispy crunch of a potato chip coated in rich, velvety chocolate—it’s a match made in snack heaven!
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces high-quality chocolate (milk, dark, or semi-sweet)
- 1 bag of ridged potato chips (lightly salted)
- Sea salt flakes (optional)
- Crushed nuts like almonds or hazelnuts (optional)
- Caramel or white chocolate for drizzling (optional)
- Sprinkles or cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- Spread the potato chips on a tray and remove any broken pieces or crumbs.
- Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second bursts, stirring in between. Alternatively, use a double boiler.
- Prepare a drying area by lining a flat surface with parchment or wax paper.
- Use tongs to dip each chip halfway into the melted chocolate. Twirl slightly to remove excess.
- Place dipped chips on parchment paper, spacing them out.
- While chocolate is still wet, add toppings like sea salt, crushed nuts, or sprinkles if desired.
- Let the chocolate set at room temperature for 1–2 hours or refrigerate for quicker setting.
- Once set, serve immediately or store in an airtight container.
Notes
For best results, use ruffled chips for maximum crunch and chocolate cling. Avoid chocolate chips made for baking—they don’t melt as smoothly.
