Chocolate Potato Chips

The results are in, and you all voted for me to whip up some Chocolate Potato Chips. Done! Here is the finished product:

So how do they taste? Well, about what you would expect--the chocolate and the salty chips are an interesting balance (think trail mix). While they are definitely a treat of interest, I can't believe that these would fly off my candy store shelves! Here's the recipe if you'd like to give it a try:


Chocolate Potato Chips


1 bag Potato Chips (preferably thick cut like Ruffles)
12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate


1. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler (or hot pot of water with glass bowl set atop for chocolate).


2. Dip the potato chips into chocolate and set on sheet of wax paper. If you'd like to spice up these treats you can sprinkle toppings such as M&M's, nuts, or sprinkles on top while the chocolate is still soft.


3. Let the chips set until chocolate is hardened, you can place them in the fridge, but ONLY for about ten minutes as the chips will get soggy if you leave them longer.


4. Store completed Chocolate Potato Chips in airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Enjoy!

Well there you go, if you are a sweet & salty kind of person, this is right up your alley, and very easy to make at that. If not, I wouldn't get too excited, e.g. Matt ate one chip, made the bitter beer face, said "well I tried one...", and walked away. Hey at least he tried one!
