Ingredients
- 2 cups potato chips (plain, ridged preferred)
- 1 cup high-quality milk chocolate, chopped (e.g., Ghirardelli or Guittard)
- Optional: sea salt, chopped nuts, or sprinkles for topping
Instructions
-
Prepare Ingredients: Set out potato chips on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Prepare optional toppings if using.
-
Melt Chocolate:
-
Double Boiler: Simmer 2 inches of water in a pot. Place chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl over the pot (without touching the water) and stir until melted.
-
Microwave: Heat chopped chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
-
-
Coat the Chips:
-
Dip Method: Use a fork or dipping tool to coat each chip in melted chocolate. Tap off excess chocolate and place on the prepared baking sheet.
-
Drizzle Method: Lay chips flat and use a spoon to drizzle chocolate over them in a zigzag pattern.
-
-
Add Toppings: While chocolate is still wet, sprinkle with sea salt, nuts, or sprinkles if desired.
-
Set the Chocolate: Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or until chocolate is fully set.
Notes
- Ridged chips hold chocolate better and stay crispier.
- Use a silicone mat for easy cleanup.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Experiment with pretzels or sweet potato chips for fun variations.
