These Chocolate Covered Potato Chips are the perfect combination of sweet and salty to satisfy your sweet tooth.

So I’m sure you know by now that I’m all about easy recipes.

Simple, yet delicious dishes that don’t involve too much prep work, yet still taste like you spent all day in the kitchen. Every once in a while I might sneak in a more time consuming dish (like my Overnight Cinnamon Rolls….totally worth the prep work), but for the most part, I like to keep it simple. After all, that’s what my blog is all about and that might just be why you’re reading along right now!

Well, today’s creation couldn’t get any easier.  Not even one tiny bit. I shouldn’t even call this a recipe, as it’s really not.

But, after I had the idea to make these Chocolate Covered Potato Chips, I was literally dancing with excitement. The hubster probably thought I was crazy, but good ideas are worth the excitement, right?

Although I have a special place in my heart for sweets, I do love the salty snacks just a little bit more. But give me something that combines the two and I’m one happy girl. And since I often crave something salty and sweet, these Chocolate Covered Potato Chips were the perfect solution!

Potato chips and chocolate.

Could the ingredients get any better than that? I chose to use wavy potato chips and Ghirardelli Dark Melting Wafers to dip them into.

I didn’t get fancy and swirl in some white chocolate or caramel (though you could definitely do that). Instead, I went for the easy peasy route and simply dunked the chips halfway into the melted chocolate and then let them set on parchment paper.

    I've heard how amazing chocolate covered potato chips are, but I've never tried them. My best friend made them this Christmas as gifts and said that they were a huge success. These look delectable, Gayle. I like easy recipes just as much as you. Sweet and salty is my favorite combination. I can't put down a chocolate covered pretzel or bag of kettle corn once I start munching.

      Thanks, Mir! Ruffles are the way to go, as the regular ones don't stand up to the chocolate very well! :)

    Sweet and salty snacks are my FAVORITE thing of all time! I don't even think you want to know how badly I'm craving a huge-ish bowlful of these chips and it's not even 7am! Totally loving how simple they look! That may or may not be a good thing, because I'm half-inclined to run into the kitchen and make these NOW! ;) Pinning!

    When Target started selling the chocolate covered potato chips last year I was so obsessed with them! Then I realized that it was much cheaper to make them myself! And they are so easy for something so delicious! Sweet and salty is my favorite combo and chips and chocolate is the best kind :)
