Delicious Milk Chocolate-Covered Potato Chips
A sweet and salty snack that combines crispy potato chips with rich milk chocolate. These homemade chocolate-covered chips are easy to make and perfect for parties, movie nights, or gifting.
Equipment
- Microwave or double boiler
- Parchment paper or baking sheet
- Fork or tongs for dipping
- Small bowl for melted chocolate
- Cooling rack (optional)
Ingredients
- 2 cups ridged potato chips preferably thick-cut
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips or chopped milk chocolate
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil or vegetable oil optional, for smooth melting
- Optional toppings: sea salt crushed nuts, sprinkles, or white chocolate drizzle
Instructions
- Prepare the Chips: Lay the potato chips on a parchment-lined baking sheet, making sure they are not overlapping.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the milk chocolate in 20-second intervals, stirring each time, until smooth. Alternatively, use a double boiler for gentle heating. If needed, stir in a teaspoon of coconut oil for a silkier texture.
- Dip the Chips: Using a fork or tongs, dip each chip halfway or fully into the melted chocolate, letting excess chocolate drip off.
- Set the Chips: Place the chocolate-covered chips back onto the parchment paper. If using toppings, sprinkle them over before the chocolate hardens.
- Let Them Cool: Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature for 30 minutes or place in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes for faster hardening.
- Enjoy! Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to a week.
Notes
- Use ridged or kettle-cooked potato chips for better sturdiness.
- Dark or white chocolate can be substituted for different flavor variations.
- Adding a pinch of sea salt enhances the sweet-salty contrast.
- These make great edible gifts when packed in decorative bags!
