Chocolate Covered Potato Chips
A while back, Trader Joe’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 don’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? It’s just potato chips and chocolate.
So I did. I’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 can’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.
Chocolate Covered Potato Chips
Ingredients
- 1 individual snack bag of kettle chips
- 1 cup of semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Microwave chocolate in microwave glass bowl for 30 seconds. Stir with wooden spoon. Microwave for an additional 30 seconds and mix again. If chocolate still has little lumps, microwave a little longer, but careful not to over cook chocolate. Stir until chocolate is melted and smooth.
- Dip chips one at a time, until coated in chocolate. Place gently on a sheet of parchment paper. Place in freezer to let chocolate set. Store uneaten chocolate chips in freezer.
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 “microwave” tag or link in the header! i don’t own an oven so all i can cook in is my microwave and i know some will feel the same too !
thanks for the suggestion!
“store uneaten chips in the freezer”
How do you manage to have any uneaten chips remaining! This looks amazing
Lol. Well I made quite a few so I would have some extra. =)
And interesting combination… never tried that.
Not sure whether I’d like it but I’d love to try!
It’s a great combination! Definitely give it a try.
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 ha…
Haha. You’ll be fine. Just make them in small batches!
I’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 😛
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.
I kind of like them drizzled with white chocolate, too. Kettle chips are definitely the way to go – crunchier! I’ve had the TJ ones, they’re pretty good – when you don’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 I’ve gone, they never have it.
