Chocolate Covered Potato Chips

A while back, Trader Joeโ€™s was selling chocolate covered potato chips. After seeing it in their flyer, I immediately went to go get it, only to find they were all sold out.

I remember checking back a few more times and not finding it. I donโ€™t know why I thought of it the other day. And it made me think. Why did I keep looking for it? Why not make my own? Itโ€™s just potato chips and chocolate.

So I did. Iโ€™m really starting to enjoy making things on my own rather than buying these days. I like having the control of the ingredients I use and being able to make variations I canโ€™t find in store.

For these, I used kettle chips. I love love kettle chips and their extreme crunchiness. They are also sturdier and thicker, so less likely to break. I used the original flavor, and I used semisweet chocolate. But you can use whatever flavor of chips and chocolate you want.

Uneaten ones are best kept in the freezer to keep the chocolate from getting messy. I loved the combination of the crunchy sweet and salty.

    1. I love your website and i literally die a little everytime i saw a new recipes!! one tiny suggestion though, i think it would be so so awesome if you could do a โ€œmicrowaveโ€ tag or link in the header! i donโ€™t own an oven so all i can cook in is my microwave and i know some will feel the same too !

    2. โ€œstore uneaten chips in the freezerโ€

      How do you manage to have any uneaten chips remaining! This looks amazing

    3. And interesting combinationโ€ฆ never tried that.
      Not sure whether Iโ€™d like it but Iโ€™d love to try!

    4. well this recipe is full of WIN!!!!!

      so easy to do! omg, if i make this and eat it all, it will go to my @$$!!!! ha haโ€ฆ

    5. Iโ€™ve tried chocolate-covered Pringles and that worked out pretty well, too. Probably not as crunchy as kettle chips, though. My current TJ addiction is the chocolate-covered pretzel chips, which I guess I can also make at home ๐Ÿ˜›

      • My current TJ addiction is dried chili mangoes. Good to know pringles works. I was thinking when I photoed them that I wish I could stack them like pringles, but the kettle ones were all different shapes.

    6. I kind of like them drizzled with white chocolate, too. Kettle chips are definitely the way to go โ€“ crunchier! Iโ€™ve had the TJ ones, theyโ€™re pretty good โ€“ when you donโ€™t feel like making them yourself.

      • Ooh drizzling them with white chocolate would make them quite pretty and fancy too! I dont go to TJ often because I tend to buy everything in sight, but the times Iโ€™ve gone, they never have it.
