Chocolate Dipped Potato Chips…*
…salty & sweet in a bite-size treat
My sister is 100% responsible for this wonderful idea. I’ve always been a huge fan of chocolate-covered pretzels (and well, chocolate-covered anything for that matter), but never have I ever thought about dipping potato chips in chocolate. Leave it to my sister—the saltaholic in the family—to think up such an unusual, yet remarkable combination. And, thank God she did because they are undeniably delicious! The crunch and ridged texture of the chips next to the smooth and rich chocolatey dip is unbelievable. These chips can be made in less than 20 minutes and would go great on a snack tray for entertaining, for movie nights, or to dish out as gifts. Although, I should warn you--this “snack” is highly addictive! I can’t stop reaching in the container and grabbing one (or three) every time I walk into the kitchen…hehe…Enjoy ;)

The Ingredients…*
1 or 2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate [depending on how much you want to make]
1/2 cup of chopped white chocolate or vanilla-flavored baking chips
1 16-ounce bag ridged potato chips (like Ruffles)
1 or 2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate [depending on how much you want to make]
1/2 cup of chopped white chocolate or vanilla-flavored baking chips
1 16-ounce bag ridged potato chips (like Ruffles)
The Instructions…*
(1) Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with aluminum foil and set aside
(2) Place the chocolate in a large microwave-safe bowl and microwave it in 30-second increments until melted, stirring after time to prevent overheating
(3) Using a spoon, paint one side of a potato chip with a thin layer of chocolate; Place the chip chocolate-side up on the prepared baking sheet
(4) Repeat this process until you have used up all of your chocolate
(5) Allow the chips to sit until the chocolate is set; or refrigerate the chips for 10 minutes to accelerate the process
(6) If desired, melt the white chocolate (the same way as the semi-sweet) and pour into a small Ziploc bag; Snip the end off and paint already dipped chips with stripes of white chocolate for added color and taste!
(7) Store chips in an airtight container to preserve the crunchiness. Enjoy :)
