How to make Chocolate-Dipped Potato Chips
Preparation
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to place your coated chips for cooling.
Melting Chocolate
Use a microwave or double boiler to melt the chocolate until smooth. If microwaving, heat in 15-30 second intervals, stirring in between to avoid burning.
Dipping and Topping
Hold each potato chip by one end and dip it halfway into the melted chocolate. Let excess chocolate drip off to prevent clumping.
While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle sea salt or other toppings for a burst of flavor.
Cooling and Serving
Place the dipped chips on the parchment-lined tray and let them sit at room temperature or in the refrigerator until the chocolate hardens (about 15-30 minutes).
Once the chocolate has fully set, serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
