Crisp potato chips coated in smooth chocolate for a delicious sweet and salty snack.
# Ingredient List:
→ Potato Chips
01 - 5 oz ridged potato chips (plain, salted)
→ Chocolate Coating
02 - 7 oz semisweet or dark chocolate, chopped or chips

# 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 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 crunch factor is absolutely unreal, like your snacks just got a serious upgrade
- Takes twenty minutes start to finish but tastes like something from a fancy chocolate shop
02 -
- Even a drop of water will seize your chocolate into a grainy mess, so keep your equipment completely dry
- Work in small batches because chocolate starts cooling and thickening while you dip
03 -
- Tap your dipped chips gently against the bowl edge to remove excess chocolate without losing the coating
- Choose chips with minimal broken pieces in the bag to maximize your yield
