Chocolate Covered Potato Chips Recipe: Sweet & Salty Treat

Ingredients

Servings:
6
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (dark or milk chocolate)
  • 2 cups potato chips (plain or lightly salted)
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil (for smoothing the chocolate)
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt (for topping, optional)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Melt the Chocolate

    In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until fully melted and smooth.

    Be careful not to overheat the chocolate.
  2. Prepare the Potato Chips

    Lay the potato chips out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they do not overlap.

    Use a baking sheet with a rim to catch any chocolate drips.
  3. Dip the Chips

    Using a fork, dip each potato chip into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off before placing it back on the baking sheet.

    Make sure to coat each chip evenly.
  4. Add Toppings

    If desired, sprinkle sea salt over the chocolate-covered chips before the chocolate sets.

    The salt enhances the sweet and salty flavor.
  5. Chill to Set

    Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate has fully hardened.

    You can also let them sit at room temperature to set.
