I had my first Chocolate Dipped Potato Chip from ChocolatePaper in Roanoke, VA a few years ago and I’ll admit that at first I wasn’t excited about the thought of eating a Chocolate Dipped Potato Chip.
I thought to myself, “man, that’s a weird food to dip into chocolate” but after a little persuading, I gave it a try and wow, it was actually good. Sweet from the chocolate and a little salty from the potato chip…it was indeed a pretty good combination!
Our area is always so behind on the snowy weather. haha. I saw photos on Facebook this year of people getting tons of snow before Thanksgiving and do you know that today (like 6 days before Christmas) is the first time I’ve seen a snowflake this “winter”.
I know that winter doesn’t technically start until tomorrow but come on! 😉 Just a few more snowflakes….please! All morning it’s been faintly snowing and you don’t even really notice it unless you’re staring out of the window looking for it.
Like I told Big Bear, “I just want enough snow to cover the ground in a pretty little white blanket and then it can stop if it needs too, but I just want to see a little snow.” That’s not too much to ask for… right? haha
Around here people either LOVE snow or HATE it. I love it as long as it doesn’t make the road dangerous. Once it starts freezing the roads and turning them into sheets of ice I’m over it.
I’m pretty sure that I could get a little more into the “Christmas Spirit” if I had a bit of snow! I’m sure of it!
I’ve got the Christmas music up today and I’m whipping up a few Christmas treats in the kitchen so all I need is a magical snowfall outside of the kitchen window and I’d be set. Oh, but wait…. it can’t snow too much! I have an Ugly Sweater Party to go to tonight! So… yeah…that’s a southerner for ya!
Snow, Snow, Snow… but don’t let it snow too much because I’ve got stuff to do and places to go haha.
But you’re not here for snow. You’re here for Chocolate Dipped Potato Chips! Lets make some….
Grab a handful, you’re gonna love them!
Want to give them a try? You only need 2 ingredients (3 if you add sprinkles) for these Chocolate Dipped Potato Chips! You’ll need Chocolate Melting Wafers (or Chocolate QuickCoat Melting Chocolate) and potato chips! Throw some festive sprinkles on them before they dry and BOOM, the easiest Christmas treat ever! 😉
Chocolate Dipped Potato Chips
Chocolate Dipped Potato Chips
Chocolate Dipped Potato Chips are a super easy treat to make at home! Perfect for Holiday Dessert trays and homemade Christmas gifts!
Ingredients
- Chocolate Melting Wafers (or Chocolate QuickCoat Melting Chocolate)
- Ridged Potato Chips
- Sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
Line a baking sheet (or flat surface) with wax or parchment paper.
Melt Chocolate according to package directions. I normally pour my chocolate into a bowl and melt it in the microwave in 30 seconds burst, stirring between each heating session until melted.
Dip each potato into melted chocolate and then lay them on the wax paper to cool.
Sprinkle with sprinkles before the chocolate hardens.
To quicken the chocolate hardening process, stick the chocolate dipped potato chips into the fridge for about 10 minutes.

mail4rosey says
We saw some chocolate dipped potato chips in the store. I was ‘this’ close to buying them to give them a try. I bet they’re even better if you make them at home.
Kendra says
These look good. I wonder if I should take them to a cookie exchange. I think I’d be the only person there with something so different. 🙂
Beth@FrugalFroggie says
I have never heard of chocolate dipped potato chips. But I bet they are good. And they look easy to make. Thanks for the idea and recipe.
Chrystal M. says
I bet these are fabulous. I am just now getting into the salted chocolate craze. Here where I am in MI it really hasn’t snowed much. I don’t mind winter but we get a lot of power outages and that part really sucks. It can make life quite miserable.
Kathleen Bunn says
When I used to work at a candy store we sold these, and they really do taste delicious. I bet the boys would love to make these.
Christie says
Sweet and salty, definitely a great combo! I love the festive sprinkles too!
Amanda O. says
Those chips look divine! I love the sweet and salty taste and I’ll bet these taste great!
Krystal says
I admit these are my guilty pleasure! I saw a bag of something similar in the store and demolished them. I would love to make them myself though!
