Chocolate Covered Potato Chips

March 10, 2016 by Emily Hill Leave a Comment

Before you get all “that girl is CRAZY” on me, let’s break down these chocolate covered potato chips.

Chocolate Covered Potato Chips -- these babies come together in about 5 minutes. A heavenly combination of salty crunch and chocolaty creaminess. You will never look at a potato chip the same way again!

You have two main ingredients: ridged (or ruffled) potato chips and chocolate. Basically you’re combining salty crunchiness with chocolate creaminess and throwing in some coconut or drizzled chocolate for good measure. And you’re doing it in about 5 minutes.

Holy Hannah, people. You will wonder why you ever questioned chocolate covered potato chips; they are beyond reproach.

I wish they were also way beyond my mouth because once I start eating them, I can’t stop.

This is the first time we’ve tried white chocolate and I have to say, it rivaled the semisweet. The flaked coconut was a fun addition but my favorite was the drizzle of contrasting chocolate. Though we didn’t try it, I think caramel would be yummy drizzled on the semisweet chocolate and cinnamon sugar sprinkled on the white chocolate. We’re so trying that next time.

While I prefer using the chocolate glaze from my better than everything chocolate bundt cake, you could also microwave semisweet chocolate chips without the butter and corn syrup. But I find the glaze makes for easier dipping and allows more time for adding toppings like coconut, chopped peanuts—heck, you could even try chopped peanut butter cups!

You will want to eat these chocolate covered potato chips within the first 24 hours or so because the potato chips start to get a bit soft.

It’s not like eating the entire batch in one day is a problem or anything.
