Sweet and salty is one of my absolute favorite flavor profiles. The crispy crunchy texture of these chips is the perfect companion to the flavor too. Wrap a handful of them in a cellophane bag tied with a pretty ribbon as gifts for teachers, or even as party favors for guests. They also make a fantastic addition to holiday grazing boards which are so popular this time of year.

How to make chocolate covered potato chips?
- Melt chocolate- Until smooth.
- Dip each chip- In melted chocolate.
- Remove excess chocolate- Gently.
- Allow chocolate to set- On a cookie tray.
- Remove chips- From wax paper.
Variations
- Use ruffled or wavy chips- Instead of smooth ones. You can also use sticks or veggie straws as an alternative.
- Topping options- Before the chocolate sets, toss chopped nuts, candy bars, sprinkles, shredded or desiccated coconut, chopped dried fruit, bacon bits, or a drizzle of caramel or peanut butter.
- Make a bigger batch- Simply double or triple the ingredients.
- Use other flavors of chips- Such as sweet potato chips or root vegetable chips. Choose a chip with a mild flavor.
- Use another chocolate- Such as white or dark chocolate.
- Toffee bits are optional- Leave them out, if you prefer.
- Crush these chips and use as a topping- Use them on chocolate cakes like this Moist Triple Chocolate Cake {From Scratch}, Vegan Chocolate Cake {Eggless Cake}, or these Vegan Chocolate Cupcakes. It adds a lovely, rustic decoration with that sweet and salty flavor and crunch.
- Halfway dip the chips- This just gives a little more chip flavor, and a different look.
Tips and techniques
- How to melt chocolate? You can melt chocolate on the stove using a double boiler, or you can melt it in the microwave at 30 second intervals, stirring between each heating.
- What kind of potato chips to use? I use Lay's potato chips or classic Pringles. They are both great choices.
- Don't use broken chips- Sort out the whole ones from the bag for the best visual presentation.
- Make sure to tap off extra chocolate- Because otherwise the end result is not neat.
- You must line the pan with wax paper or parchment paper- Because this makes for easy removal and no sticky mess either.
Storage of chocolate covered Lays/ chocolate dipped chips
- Room temperature- Store these in a covered box or container for up to 1 week.
- Refrigerate- In a sealed container for up to 1 week.
- Freeze- I do not recommend freezing them, unless you want to eat them frozen. In which case, they can be stored for up to 1 month. Please note that thawing them will make the chips soggy and very unappetizing.
