Chocolate Covered Chips Recipe Recap
Indulge in sweet & salty bliss with this easy chocolate covered chips recipe! Perfect for snacks, gifts, or dessert cravings.
Ingredients
- Potato Chips: 4 cups of sturdy ridged chips (like kettle-cooked) for the perfect crunch.
- Chocolate: 12 oz of high-quality chocolate—choose dark chocolate for a rich flavor milk chocolate for a sweeter taste, or white chocolate for a creamy twist.
Toppings (Optional):
- Crushed nuts almonds, peanuts, or pecans
- Sprinkles or colored sugar
- Sea salt flakes for an extra salty kick
- Caramel or peanut butter drizzle
Instructions
Step 1: Prep Your Workspace
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent the chips from sticking.
- Set up a cooling rack nearby for drying the chips after dipping.
Step 2: Melt the Chocolate
- Chop your chocolate into small, even pieces for smooth melting.
- Use one of these methods to melt it:
- Double Boiler Method: Place a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water (make sure the bowl doesn’t touch the water). Stir the chocolate until it’s fully melted and glossy.
- Microwave Method: Heat the chocolate in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and lump-free.
- Pro Tip: Avoid overheating the chocolate, as it can seize and become grainy. If this happens, add a teaspoon of coconut oil or vegetable oil to restore its smooth texture.
Step 3: Dip the Chips
- Hold a chip by one end and dip it halfway into the melted chocolate, swirling gently to coat evenly.
- Let the excess chocolate drip off, then place the chip on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 4: Add Toppings (Optional)
- While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle on your favorite toppings like crushed nuts, sprinkles, or a pinch of sea salt for an extra flavor boost.
Step 5: Let Them Set
- Allow the chips to cool at room temperature for about 20-30 minutes. For faster results, pop them in the fridge for 10-15 minutes.
