Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound high-quality chocolate (milk, dark, or white)
- 8 cups ridged potato chips
- Optional toppings: sea salt, crushed nuts, sprinkles, or caramel drizzle
Instructions
- Melt the chocolate: Use a double boiler to melt ¾ of the chocolate until it reaches 110°F. Remove from heat and stir in the remaining chocolate until it cools to 90°F. This process tempers the chocolate for a glossy finish.
- Dip the chips: Use tongs to dip each chip into the melted chocolate. Let the excess chocolate drip off, then place the chips on wax paper to cool.
- Let them set: Allow the chips to set at room temperature or refrigerate for faster results. Add toppings while the chocolate is still wet for extra flavor.
- Store: Once set, store the chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
Notes
- Chocolate Choice: Dark chocolate provides a richer flavor, while milk chocolate is sweeter.
- Storage Tip: Separate layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Customization: Try different chips like sweet potato or kettle-cooked for unique variations.
