Chocolate Covered Potato Chips (Printable)
Crispy potato chips dipped in smooth chocolate with a sprinkle of sea salt, blending sweet and salty flavors.
# What You'll Need:
→ Chips
01 - 5 oz plain kettle-cooked potato chips
→ Chocolate
02 - 7 oz high-quality dark or milk chocolate, chopped or in chips
→ Topping
03 - 1½ tsp flaky sea salt
# How-To Steps:
01 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
02 - Place chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of gently simmering water (double boiler). Stir until smooth and fully melted. Alternatively, microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted.
03 - Using tongs or your fingers, dip each potato chip halfway (or fully, as desired) into melted chocolate. Let excess chocolate drip off.
04 - Place chocolate-dipped chips onto prepared baking sheet.
05 - While chocolate is still wet, sprinkle each chip lightly with flaky sea salt.
06 - Repeat with remaining chips and chocolate.
07 - Allow chips to set at room temperature for 30–45 minutes, or refrigerate for 10–15 minutes until chocolate is firm.
08 - Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at cool room temperature for up to 3 days.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- The contrast between silky chocolate and shattering potato chips is absolutely addictive
- Takes barely 20 minutes but looks like something from a fancy chocolate shop
02 -
- Work in small batches since chocolate sets quickly and you want the salt to stick properly
- Choose chips that are relatively flat and whole broken ones become frustrating to dip
03 -
- If your chocolate seizes, whisk in a teaspoon of coconut oil to smooth it out again
- Try drizzling contrasting white chocolate over dark dipped chips for visual drama
