Chocolate Covered Potato Chips (Printable)
Crispy potato chips coated in melted chocolate with optional toppings for a sweet and salty snack.
# What You’ll Need:
→ Base Ingredients
01 - 5 oz thick-cut plain potato chips, kettle-cooked variety recommended
02 - 7 oz semi-sweet or dark chocolate, chopped into small pieces
→ Optional Toppings
03 - 2 tbsp chopped toasted nuts (almonds or peanuts)
04 - 1 tbsp flaky sea salt
05 - 2 tbsp rainbow sprinkles
# How-To Steps:
01 - Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
02 - Melt chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, stirring frequently until completely smooth and glossy. Alternatively, microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each burst.
03 - Hold each chip firmly and dip halfway into the melted chocolate. Allow excess chocolate to drip off for 2-3 seconds before transferring.
04 - Immediately sprinkle with your choice of toasted nuts, flaky sea salt, or sprinkles while chocolate remains wet and tacky.
05 - Let coated chips rest at room temperature for 30 minutes or refrigerate for 15-20 minutes until chocolate hardens completely.
06 - Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, separating layers with wax paper to prevent sticking.
