Chocolate Covered Potato Chips (Printable)
Crispy potato chips dressed in smooth chocolate for a delightful sweet and salty snack.
# What You'll Need:
→ Potato Chips
01 - 5 oz ridged potato chips (plain, salted)
→ Chocolate Coating
02 - 7 oz semisweet or dark chocolate, chopped or chips
03 - 1 tsp coconut oil or unsalted butter (optional, for smoother coating)
# How To Make It:
01 - Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper and set aside.
02 - Melt the chocolate (and coconut oil or butter, if using) in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second increments, stirring after each, until smooth. Alternatively, melt over a double boiler.
03 - Using tongs or your fingers, dip each potato chip halfway (or fully, if preferred) into the melted chocolate, letting excess drip off.
04 - Place the coated chips on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
05 - Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or refrigerate for 10-15 minutes until firm.
06 - Once set, transfer to a serving plate or airtight container.
# Expert Suggestions:
01 -
- The contrast between salty ridged chips and silky chocolate hits every craving at once
- They come together in twenty minutes but look like you bought them from a fancy chocolate shop
02 -
- Thin chips will break when dipped, so choose sturdy ridged ones that can handle the weight
- Even a drop of water in your melting chocolate will seize it into a grainy mess
03 -
- Work in small batches so the chocolate stays fluid while you dip
- Room temperature chips prevent condensation from forming when chocolate hits the surface
