Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Dark chocolate — Use high-quality dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa content for the best flavor and texture.
  • Potato chips — Opt for ridged potato chips as they provide extra crunch and hold up well when coated in chocolate.

Tips & Tricks

  • Make sure the potato chips are fully coated in chocolate to ensure a balanced flavor in each bite.
  • Allow any excess chocolate to drip off the potato chips before placing them on the baking sheet to avoid a thick chocolate layer.
  • Sprinkle the sea salt immediately after dipping the chips in chocolate to ensure it adheres well.
