Chocolate Covered Potato Chips Recipe
Indulge in the perfect blend of sweet and salty with these easy-to-make chocolate covered potato chips. A simple yet delightful snack that combines crunchy potato chips with rich, velvety chocolate.
Ingredients
- 1 bag of plain, unsalted potato chips (about 150g)
- 200 g of chocolate (dark, milk, or white, depending on preference)
- Pinch of sea salt (optional)
- Sprinkles or toppings of choice (optional, such as chopped nuts, colorful sprinkles, or crushed pretzels) For added flavor and texture
Instructions
Prepare the Chips
- Lay the potato chips out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Ensure the chips don’t overlap for an even chocolate coating.
Melt the Chocolate
- Microwave Method: Break the chocolate into pieces and place it in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring each time until fully melted and smooth.
- Double Boiler Method: Heat a pot of water to simmer, place a heatproof bowl over the pot (without touching the water), and add the chopped chocolate. Stir constantly until melted.
Coat the Chips
- Once the chocolate is fully melted, use a spoon or spatula to drizzle or spread the melted chocolate over the chips, ensuring an even coating. You can also dip each chip fully into the chocolate for a thicker coating.
Add Finishing Touches
- Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top of the chocolate-covered chips for an enhanced sweet-salty flavor contrast. You can also add your choice of toppings like colorful sprinkles, chopped nuts, or crushed pretzels for extra texture and flavor.
- Let the Chocolate Set
- Allow the chocolate to cool and harden at room temperature for about 30 minutes or speed up the process by placing the baking sheet in the fridge for 10-15 minutes.
Serve and Enjoy
- Once the chocolate is fully set, your chocolate-covered chips are ready to enjoy! Serve them immediately, or store them in an airtight container for later.
Notes
- Storage: Store chocolate-covered chips in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge for up to a week.
- Customizations: Feel free to experiment with different types of chocolate or add creative toppings like crushed candy, marshmallows, or flavored salts.
