Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Coating
- 16 ounces chopped dark or milk chocolate
- Vegetable oil (as needed, optional)
Chips
- 8 cups ridged potato chips
Optional Topping
- A pinch of coarse sea salt
Instructions
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure the chocolate-covered chips don’t stick and are easy to remove.
- Melt Chocolate: Place the chopped chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals. Stir thoroughly after each interval until the chocolate is completely smooth and melted. If the chocolate feels too thick for dipping, stir in a small splash of vegetable oil to achieve a thinner consistency.
- Dip Chips: Using one or two forks, dip each ridged potato chip into the melted chocolate, coating it evenly. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing the chip onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Add Salt (Optional): If desired, sprinkle a pinch of coarse sea salt over the chocolate-coated chips while the chocolate is still wet to enhance the sweet and salty flavor contrast.
- Set the Chocolate: Let the chocolate-coated chips set at room temperature for 1 to 2 hours until the chocolate firms up. For quicker setting, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator.
- Enjoy: Once the chocolate is fully set and firm, your delicious choclate-covered potato chips are ready to be enjoyed as a unique snack or treat.
Notes
- Use ridged potato chips for best texture and to hold more chocolate.
- Dark chocolate offers a richer, less sweet taste, while milk chocolate gives a creamier, sweeter flavor.
- The vegetable oil is optional but helps smooth out the chocolate for easier dipping and a glossy finish.
- Coarse sea salt enhances the flavor, but you can omit it if you prefer a purely sweet snack.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
