Chocolate Covered Potato Chips (Printable)

Crisp potato chips dipped in smooth chocolate offer a sweet-and-salty snack perfect for any occasion.

# What You'll Need:

→ Potato Chips

01 - 5 oz ridged potato chips, plain and 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 - Place chocolate and coconut oil or butter (if using) in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second increments, stirring after each interval, until completely smooth. Alternatively, melt using a double boiler method.
03 - Using tongs or your fingers, dip each potato chip halfway or completely into the melted chocolate. Allow excess chocolate to drip off before placing on the prepared baking sheet.
04 - Place coated chips in a single layer on the lined baking sheet, ensuring they do not touch each other.
05 - Let chocolate set at room temperature for approximately 30 minutes. For faster results, refrigerate for 10-15 minutes until firm.
06 - Transfer set chocolate-covered chips to a serving platter immediately or store in an airtight container for later enjoyment.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The way creamy chocolate meets salty crunch creates that addictive sweet-savory balance everyone craves but cant quite explain
  • They come together in twenty minutes flat but look like something from a fancy chocolate shop
  • Perfect for those moments when you want to serve something impressive but genuinely effortless
02 -
  • Thick sturdy chips are nonnegotiable because thin delicate ones will shatter the moment they hit warm chocolate
  • Work in small batches since chocolate can cool and thicken while youre dipping making the last chips look messier than the first
  • Room temperature chips prevent chocolate from seizing while cold chips can cause the coating to set unevenly
03 -
  • Keep a clean bowl nearby to catch any chocolate drips and save the remnants for drizzling over ice cream later
  • If chocolate starts to thicken while dipping microwave it for five second intervals to return to working consistency
